A quick and easy brunch recipe featuring poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and creamy hollandaise sauce served on toasted everything bagels for a savory and celebratory meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large everything bagels, sliced in half
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler setup), whisk together 3 egg yolks and lemon juice vigorously until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume (about 3-4 minutes). Slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter, whisking constantly to emulsify. Add a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper if desired.

  2. Poach the Eggs: Fill a deep skillet or saucepan with about 3 inches of water and add 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer (bubbles should gently break the surface, not a rolling boil). Crack one egg into a small cup, then carefully slide it into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.

  3. Cook the Canadian Bacon: While eggs poach, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add Canadian bacon slices and cook until browned and slightly crisp on both sides. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  4. Toast the Everything Bagels: Slice bagels in half and toast them until golden and crispy.
  5. Assemble the Eggs Benedict: Place bagel halves on plates. Top each with a slice of Canadian bacon, then carefully place a poached egg on top. Spoon warm hollandaise sauce generously over the egg. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best poaching results. Keep hollandaise sauce warm but not hot to prevent breaking. Toast bagels well for a sturdy base. For gluten-free, substitute bagels with gluten-free options. For dairy-free hollandaise, use vegan butter and aquafaba.
