SIMPLE YET A CLASSY BREAKFAST IN A BUDGET- MY EGGS BENEDICT!

This is not the kind of breakfast that you eat daily or weekly; well, perhaps over the weekend, smile. It is simple with few ingredients, however there is a catch. Hollandaise sauce is somewhat tricky to make at home. (I’ll give you my simple homemade recipe under notes.) Meantime, get a bag of the Hollandaise sauce at the grocery store and boom, breakfast is ready in a few.

Ingredients
1 light multigrain English muffin (you’ll use a full open face/serving) (.60)
2 large eggs (.40)
2 slices of Canadian bacon (.72)
1 envelope of Hollandaise Sauce (or make my homemade one) ($1.80)
1 c. milk (.25)
¼ c. unsalted butter (.40)
 
Directions
First, prepare the Hollandaise sauce according with the directions in the back. Set aside.
Next, cook your Canadian bacon in a tsp. of olive oil until golden, set aside.
Now, cook the eggs to your desired doneness (over easy are best).
While the eggs cook, toast the split English muffin until light brown, add butter if you like.
To assemble, place both pieces of English muffin on a plate, top with the Canadian bacon, then the eggs, the Hollandaise Sauce all over and garnish with chopped dill or parsley or chives.
Serve with smoked salmon or prosciutto or blanched asparagus or even fruits, your choice!
 
NOTES:
My Simple Homemade Hollandaise Sauce recipe:
1 stick of unsalted butter, 2 egg yolks and 3 tsps. lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste.
DIRECTIONS for my Homemade Hollandaise Sauce:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium.
2. Separate the yolks from the egg whites, place the yolks in a medium size bowl, add lemon juice and whisk until combined. (Reserve the whites for scramble eggs)
3. Very slowly, add the melted butter into the egg yolks mix and do not stop whisking, (otherwise you may end up with scrambled eggs.) Finally, season with salt and pepper or any other seasoning you prefer.  Then allow it to cool a bit to get thicker.
