Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast meals. Given the rather high amount of calories in Eggs Benedict, we try not to have it too often, but when we do I love this easy recipe below. My eggs benedict recipe uses croissants instead of english muffins which again probably doesn’t help the calorie count, but definitely makes it an easy and delicious dish to prepare!
The tricky part with Eggs Benedict is poaching the egg. If you know how to do this, great! If not, first take a look at the video at the bottom of this page for a quick overview on an easy way to poach an egg.
This recipe below makes 4 small servings.
Ingredients:
- 2 Fresh Croissants (you can usually get a package of 4 fresh in your grocery store bakery)
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Packet of Dry Hollandaise Sauce (and based on the sauce, look on the packet for the ingredients you need to make the sauce - typically mild and butter)
- 1 Tablespoon of Finely Chopped Fresh Chives
- 4 Slices of Ham, about 1/4 of an inch thick
- 4 Slices of Bacon
Step 1: Folllow the instructions on the packet of Hollandaise sauce to get the sauce cooking on the stove.
Step 2: Cut the croissants in half, making four croissant halves. These will be the foundation for your four eggs benedict servings.
Step 3: Cook the bacon in a pan to your liking. Put the cooked bacon on a plate of paper towels but keep the bacon fat in the pan.
Step 4: In the same pan from the bacon, lightly cook the 4 slices of ham. Put the cooked ham on the plat with the bacon.
Step 5: Poach the four eggs. Again, if this is a new concept to you, check out the quick an easy video below.
Step 6: Place each of the four pieces of ham on top of each of the croissants. On top of the ham, put a piece of bacon (break it into two pieces if it fits better)
Step 7: Carefully place each of the four poached eggs on top of each of the croissants.
Step 8: Spoon your desired amount of Hollandaise sauce on top of each of the dishes, then top with a desired amount of fresh chopped chives.
Enjoy!
