Ingredients -
Hollandaise Sauce -
3 - Free Range Egg Yolks
1 Tbsp (20ml) - White Vinegar or Lemon Juice
280g (9.8oz) - Unsalted Butter, Clarified
Seasoning to Taste
Remaining Ingredients -
2 - English Muffins, Split
1 1/2 Tbsp (30ml) - White Vinegar (For Poaching)
4 - Free Range Eggs
4-6 - Ham Slices or Bacon Rashers
180g (6.3oz) - Baby Spinach, Wilted
Roughly Chopped Parsley To Serve
Cracked Black Pepper To Serve
Seasoning To Taste
Recipe Notes -
At the beginning of the video, I state that we need 300g (10.5oz) of unsalted butter but then later on in the recipe say we need 280g (9.8oz). The reason for this is after the butter has had its milk fats removed we will be left with 280g (9.8oz) of clarified butter, depending on how much milk fat the butter you're using contains.

@@ChefJackOvens You are definitely not going too far with your explanations Jack. It is most helpful to know not just how but also why we need to do it this way and what and why things can go wrong. You manage to keep this clear and concise. Well done!

Fantastic !! Thanks Jack

[@Chuckle_Sauce]

Good that you inlcuded both ways of doing Hollandaise, I always struggled until I found the blender method. I also found the blender version much less likely to split, I experimented keeping some over night in the fridge and reheating with a bay marie and it was still beautiful the next day.

[@mirelaz]

I love how you explain all recipies !

Definitely Brendan! I occasionally have this for dinner too. Thank you 🙏

[@jfp3008]

Plenty of good tips in this video! The only thing I would have done differently is to toast the muffins in the pan so that you’d get the bacon/ham flavour while toasting to perfection. 👌

[@CookVinChan]

I'm gona try it

[@nickbutterscotch9477]

Just finished making eggs Benny using this video. Came out perfectly. Never made this dish before either. Second time around will be even better 🤘🏼one trouble I had was when adding the butter to the hollandaise was that it was getting a little too thick. A way to balance that was adding the warm water from the steaming pot from earlier 1 tbsp at a time and balanced it out perfectly.

[@casinodelonge]

Enjoyed that, cheers!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Pleasure 🙏

Impressed with the toaster drop… definite cool chef skill there 😎. Have tried (and failed) hollandaise sauce a few times before. Will give it another try using your food processor technique. Great video!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Haha cheers Tripp! This hollandaise sauce is very easy to make just make sure to bring the water to a simmer then turn it off using the remaining heat in the water to heat the eggs (if using that method). The food processor method is the easiest way with no fuss, you won’t have any problems 😊

[@corentina5733]

You know I have wanted to know how to do this for soooooooooooo long. That was excellent and so simple. I have poached eggs but it has been hit and miss - great video

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you Hailey! Happy to hear you like the look of this one! Eggs are really inconsistent and even I have trouble with eggs sometimes, it really depends on the egg white consistency. If it’s loose then It’ll go everywhere in the pot, unfortunately it’s just one of those things.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have used your recipe and it is so delicious. I changed it slightly by adding chopped chives on top but OMG!!! Absolutely delicious. Got me out of jail too mate. Wifey was annoyed I hadn’t tidied the garage one day so I made this for her on Saturday morning. Massive Brownie points. Great video and I followed it precisely. Works every time. Cheers.

Recommend adding three shakes of cayenne pepper to your hollandaise as its being mixed. Would also suggest toasting the English muffins in the pan used to cook the ham. Trust me…. You’ll notice a difference. Also, I tend to prefer tomatoes in place of spinach. Looked good nonetheless. Love a good eggs benedict!
