Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients

For the hollandaise sauce

• 4 tablespoons butter, diced (½ stick)
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup (60ml)  heavy cream
• 2 egg yolks
• ¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• ¼ teaspoon of salt

For the eggs benedict

• 2 poached eggs 
• 2 English muffins, toasted
• Canadian bacon or regular bacon, optional
• paprika, for garnish

Preparation

1. Make the hollandaise sauce: Place the butter in the Anyday dish and cook in the microwave uncovered for 1-2 minutes in 30-second intervals, or until it’s fully melted.
2. Add the lemon juice, heavy cream, egg yolks, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, and salt in the Anyday dish and blend with an immersion blender until well incorporated. This step is important to the success of the recipe!
3. Cook uncovered at Power Level 5

   Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels. 

   Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.

   For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.

   Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:

   PL 10 = 100% = High (default)

   PL 9 = 90% = High

   PL 8 = 80% = Med-High

   PL 7 = 70% = Med-High

   PL 6 = 60% = Medium

   PL 5 = 50% = Medium

   PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low

   PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low

   PL 2 = 20% = Low

   PL 1 = 10% = Low

   You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
   

   for 1-2 minutes and whisk until fully incorporated. (It might look slightly curdled at first, but once you whisk, it will become velvety and creamy.)
4. Make the poached eggs. 
5. Assemble the eggs benedict: Layer toasted English muffin halves with a slice of bacon and a poached egg. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the eggs, and top with paprika.
