Eggs Benedict is a rich and savory dish, characterized by its harmonious blend of salty, creamy, and slightly acidic flavors.
The overall flavor profile is driven by the richness of the egg yolk combined with the buttery, tangy Hollandaise sauce. The salty ham or bacon adds a savory depth, while the toasted English muffin provides a neutral base and textural contrast. The acidity of the lemon juice in the Hollandaise cuts through the richness, preventing the dish from becoming overly heavy.

Poaching Perfect Eggs
Use fresh eggs, create a gentle whirlpool in simmering water with a touch of vinegar, and cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.
Hollandaise Harmony
Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water to gently emulsify the butter and egg yolks. Whisk constantly to prevent curdling. A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the flavor and stabilizes the sauce.
Muffin Mastery
Toast the English muffins lightly to provide a sturdy base that won't become soggy. Buttering them adds flavor and helps to prevent them from absorbing too much sauce.
