POACHED EGGS FOR EGGS BENEDICT RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, then salt the water. Meanwhile, crack an egg (or two, or three!) into a small cup.
• With a spoon, begin stirring the boiling water in a large, circular motion. 
• When the water is swirling like a tornado, add the eggs. The swirling water will help the egg white wrap around itself as it cooks. 
• Cook for about 2 ½ to 3 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg (or eggs) to a plate.

Steps:

• Add the egg yolks to a blender or a food processor. Add in the lemon juice and blend for several seconds. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Turn off the blender and add in a little salt and cayenne. Whip it again until combined. Set this aside for a minute. Next, poach an egg by gently cracking an egg into simmering, slightly bubbling water. Leave the egg alone for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, and then remove it with a slotted spoon and carefully place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs. To serve, place a buttered, toasted English muffin half on a plate. Top the English muffin with a warm slice of Canadian bacon. Place the warm poached egg on top. And then drizzle on some warm hollandaise. Sprinkle a little paprika on top.
