Eggs Benedict with Home Fries Recipe

Poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and hollandaise sauce are served on a toasted English muffin in this classic breakfast dish. Home fries are the ideal side dish to round out the meal.

Ingredients

A pinch of cayenne pepper
4 slices canadian bacon
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium peeled and diced potatoes
4 eggs
2 toasted english muffins, split
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Season with salt and black pepper to taste
3 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Instructions

Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over low heat.
Blend the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender until smooth.
Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg mixture while the blender is running, until thick and creamy.
Warm the sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Combine the diced potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and browned on all sides.
Cook the Canadian bacon in a separate skillet until crispy and browned, about 2-3 minutes per side, while the potatoes are cooking.
Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes in simmering water, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Place the toasted English muffin halves on each plate to assemble.
Add a slice of Canadian bacon, a poached egg, and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce to each half.
Serve alongside the crispy home fries.
