Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 1 large Ripe avocados
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
Instructions
Begin by preparing the hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until well blended.
Slowly add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously. Return the mixture to low heat and continue to whisk until it thickens. Add cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Keep warm.
Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash gently with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them to your preference.
Fill a large saucepan with 2-3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer, adding the white vinegar.
Crack the eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl and gently slide each into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Assemble the benedict: Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each toasted muffin half. Place a poached egg on top of the avocado.
Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious avocado benedict!
