If you want to make your own Hollandise sauce, go ahead, but I was feeling frisky this AM and used a packet of Knorr Holandaise sauce mix instead.

I made this for my husband one morning and he couldn't stop raving! This is a wonderful "cheat" that makes for a terrific presentation.

How To Make pretender eggs benedict with asparagus, bacon, ham, and swiss cheese

Step 1

You will need to have something to cook the eggs in the microwave in that make them a perfect size for the muffins. I bought mine at Wally World. They are plastic, and open up on a hinge.

Step 2

Split muffins and toast to your liking, butter them.
Step 3

Put one slice of Swiss on each muffin, break the bacon in 3 pieces, put on Swiss, put one slice of ham on top of the bacon.
Step 4

Spray the container you are going to cook your eggs in with non stick spray.
Step 5

Put one egg in each container, and whip, add 1 teaspoon cream to each egg and whip. Put 3 cut spears of asparagus on top, salt and pepper
Step 6

Put each egg in microwave and cook 1 minute.
Step 7

Meanwhile make Hollandaise to package directions using the 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter.
Step 8

Place each egg on each muffin, and cover with Hollandaise.
