Molly Makes Eggs Benedict for a Crowd | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while bologna is a cost-effective alternative.

Hollandaise sauce

🥗Healthier: avocado sauce

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Avocado sauce offers healthy fats, while mayonnaise is more budget-friendly.

Crack eggs over a strainer to remove excess whites.

Poach 6 eggs in water just below simmering for 2-3 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny.

Transfer poached eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking.

Repeat poaching process with remaining eggs.

In a blender, combine 3 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice, then blend briefly.

With the blender running, slowly stream in 2.5 sticks of melted butter until emulsified.

Add salt and a pinch of cayenne to the hollandaise sauce and cover with saran wrap to keep warm.

Brush English muffins with 4 tablespoons of reserved melted butter and toast in a 450°F oven for 6 minutes.

Top each toasted muffin with a slice of ham and return to the oven for 1 minute to warm the ham.

Reheat poached eggs in simmering water for 1 minute, then drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.

Assemble by placing poached eggs on top of the ham, drizzle with hollandaise, and garnish with additional cayenne and finely sliced chives.
