Eggs Benedict

www.shropshirebreakfast.co.uk

This is a very popular special at the B&B; my husband's favourite. It's quite convenient to make because there's no real last minute cooking - it's just a case of warming through and assembling.

You'll need the recipes from earlier in the blog on poaching eggs, making hollandaise and, if you're planning to make your own, baking English Muffins.

If you're cooking for a few people then I suggest you pre cook the poached eggs and make up the hollandaise and put it in a warmed thermos flask. Then you're only reheating & assembling ingredients

For 1 eggs Benedict you'll need

1 poached egg
1 or 2 tablespoons of hollandaise
2 slices of grilled bacon ( or thick slices of ham )
1 toasted English Muffin buttered

And that's it really! Put the half an english muffin on a warm plate, top with the bacon ( or ham ), put the poached egg on top and spoon the hollandaise over.
