How To Make Eggs Benedict

Step 1. You need your ingredients to make eggs benedict
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 large free range eggs
2 toasting muffins
1 batch hot hollandaise sauce (see 'Goes well with' below)
4 slices Parma ham (or Serrano or Bayonne)

Step 2. Bring in a deep saucepan of water to the boil (at about 2 litres) and add 3 tbsp white wine vinegar. 

Step 3. Break the eggs into 4 separate coffee cups or ramekins. Split the muffins, toast them and warm some plates. 

Step 4. Swirl the vinegared water briskly to form a vortex and slide in an egg. It will curl round and set to a neat round shape

Step 5. Cook for 2-3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon

Step 6. Repeat with the other eggs, one at a time, re-swirling the water as you slide in the eggs. 

Step 7. Spread some sauce on each muffin, scrunch a slice of ham on top, then top with an egg. Spoon over the remaining hollandaise.

Step 8. Now it's time to Serve.
