How To Make surprise eggs benedict
-
Step 1Fill bottom of a double boiler with water - make sure it doesn't touch the top pan. Bring the water to a simmer.
-
Step 2In top pan, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice and 1 tbsp. water. Add butter to egg yolk mixture and add 1-2 tsp. hot water. Whisk until the butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt and removed from heat. Cover the pan to keep warm.
-
Step 3Poach eggs by filling a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Carefully break eggs into a cup and slide into water gently one at a time. Cook 2 1/2 - 3 minutes or until whites are cooked and yolks are still soft in the center. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a warm plate.
-
Step 4Cut span into 4 (1/4 inch thick) slices. In a medium skillet, heat spam over medium high heat until lightly crisp.
-
Step 5Place English muffins, cut side up, on serving plates. Top evenly with spinach - then spam, tomato slices - followed by poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
