Ingredients

• 8 pieces English muffins
• 16 large Eggs
• 16 slices Canadian bacon
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

2. Crack one egg into each greased muffin cup. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over each egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (bake longer if a firmer yolk is desired).

Step 3

3. While the eggs bake, slice the English muffins in half and arrange them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 4

4. In a medium skillet, lightly brown the Canadian bacon slices over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.

Step 5

5. To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and keep it warm. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, salt, and cayenne pepper. Blend on medium speed for 10 seconds.

Step 6

6. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle the warm melted butter into the mixture. Continue blending until the sauce is thick and creamy. If it becomes too thick, mix in a teaspoon of warm water. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 7

7. Assemble the dish by placing a toasted English muffin half on a serving platter. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, a baked egg, and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce. Repeat for all portions.

Step 8

8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. For a potluck, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble just before serving.
