Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Base

  • 2 English muffins, halved
  • 4 bacon strips
  • 2 eggs (poached or fried)

Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon water (to help emulsify)

Additional Ingredients (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • Avocado slices
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish
  • Smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Cook bacon strips to crispy perfection in a skillet over medium heat or bake on a sheet pan. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Poach or Fry the Eggs: For classic eggs benedict, poach eggs in simmering water with a splash of white vinegar until the whites are set but yolks remain runny (about 3-4 minutes). Alternatively, fry eggs sunny side up for a simpler approach.
  3. Toast the English Muffins: Halve and toast the English muffins until golden brown and slightly crunchy on the outside while still soft inside.
  4. Make the Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk together egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, and water until frothy. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking vigorously until sauce thickens. Stir in finely chopped chipotle peppers and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer toasted English muffin halves with crispy bacon strips, then top each with a poached or fried egg. Generously spoon the chipotle hollandaise sauce over the eggs, then cover with the top muffin halves. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for easier poaching and better texture.
  • Adjust chipotle pepper quantity gradually to control spice level.
  • Keep hollandaise sauce warm over gently heated water to maintain silky texture.
  • Poach eggs gently using a low simmer to avoid tough whites or broken yolks.
  • Toast English muffins right before assembling to prevent sogginess.
