Instructions

Step 1

Bring a shallow pot of salted water to a simmer

Step 2

Crack your eggs into a fine mesh strainer. Swirl around to drain off the runny portion of the egg white and drop into the simmering water.

Step 3

Mix water occasionally. Lift eggs with a slotted spoon and poke to check doneness. Eggs are ready once white is completely set and the yolk portion feels gooey - about 2 minutes. Place cooked eggs on paper towel to let dry.

Step 4

To make hollandaise:

Step 5

Heat butter until completely melted. Yes, you can use a microwave.

Step 6

Add all other ingredients to a blender. Pulse briefly to mix.

Step 7

Drip in your butter slowly. If your blender has an opening in the cover, it is best to do this while the blades are spinning. Otherwise, just carefully pour and blend incrementally. You can also use a hand blender for this. Add water/lemon juice to adjust consistency/acidity. Season to taste.

Step 8

Toast English muffin

Step 9

Heat up ham

Step 10

Assemble. Stack ham on english muffin, egg on ham, and sauce on egg. Or… eff it. Stack it in whatever configuration you like. It’s 2019.

Step 11

My favorite way to serve these is family-style on a big, nice-lookin’ tray or cutting board. This way, when you place the benny on the table, it will send a shock-wave of pure excitement and impressiveness that will ignite the spirits of everyone sitting there and awaiting their meal. Then, you can sit back and enjoy watching them frantically grab and fight for the little towers of decadence. Beautiful.

Step 12

Make sure to grab one for yourself before the carnage ensues. Eat and enjoy.
