CHEAT'S EGGS BENEDICT
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp hollandaise sauce
- 6 large
- very fresh eggs
- 12 slices pancetta
- grilled until crisp
- 3 English muffins
- split in half horizontally
- a little butter
Directions
- Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
- Poach the eggs in a pan of boiling water.
- When the pancetta is cooked
- keep it on a warm plate while you lightly toast the split muffins on both sides.
- Now butter the muffins and place them on the baking tray
- then top each half with two slices of pancetta.
- Put a poached egg on top of each muffin half and then spoon over the hollandaise
- covering the egg (there should be a little over 1 tablespoon of sauce for each egg).
- Now flash the Eggs Benedict under the grill for just 25-30 seconds
- as close to the heat as possible
- but do not take your eyes off them - they need to be tinged golden and no more. This should just glaze the surface of the hollandaise. Serve straight away on hot plates.
