Ingredients

• 3 English muffins
• 6 slices Canadian bacon
• 6 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Split the English muffins in half, then cut them into smaller circles (using a cookie cutter or glass) to fit the base of the muffin cups. Place a piece of muffin into the bottom of each of 6 muffin cups.

Step 3

Place one slice of Canadian bacon on top of each muffin base.

Step 4

Crack one egg on top of each slice of Canadian bacon. Be careful not to break the yolk.

Step 5

Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (or until they reach your preferred consistency).

Step 7

While the eggs are baking, prepare the hollandaise sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.

Step 8

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until creamy.

Step 9

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk continuously while gradually adding the melted butter in a slow, steady stream.

Step 10

Continue whisking the hollandaise sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency. Add cayenne pepper and salt, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 11

When the eggs are done baking, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Gently run a knife around the edge of each Eggs Benedict Cup to loosen, then remove them from the tin.

Step 13

Drizzle the hollandaise sauce generously over each cup.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Eggs Benedict Cups!
