Molly Makes Eggs Benedict for a Crowd | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

We tackled every element of the classic eggs Benedict recipe to optimize it for a crowd. Poaching eggs in advance. A hollandaise that will stay luscious for hours. A tray of perfectly toasted, buttery muffins. Yep-it’s all here. This recipe comes together in under an hour and much of it can be prepped in advance, leaving you free to entertain.

Oh my god 😂

[@Michael-ks3rl]

making Benedicts by the batch

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

Molly didn't ferment the eggs which is why Brad wanted no part of that.

[@jiv32]

Kyle Gruber the eggs benedict weren't alive

[@MemeBaz11824]

Kyle Gruber 😂😂😂😂

[@jasonsteele9580]

I know. That guy will ferment anything. He still cracks me up though. I like everyone on this channel.

[@turtlehead2]

No garlic. Brad feeds off Allicin.

[@TJ4DeMi]

And because she told him to shut up

[@robertminnix6040]

"geez Louisiana" Alright, I'm sold.

[@destineebeaubien5258]

[@whaterror4333]

Destinee Beaubien stfu

[@gigawebsurfer]

I know it's been ages, but how'd it go? Made them many times since?

[@marcar19]

How did it go?

[@Saurischian]

Showers. Why don't you take them?

[@Janae2000]

[@TroyErnestEdwards]

Molly "Gently" Makes Eggs Benedict for a Crowd

[@eslammesbah1126]

Troy Edwards gently 😂

[@gbultimate]

"I believe in a gentle poach" Best egg poaching lesson I've ever heard.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

A gentle poach......in skin-scalding 212°F water over a thousand degree flame!!

[@iigodlykiller2091]

Lifted_Above “I don’t think the vortex method is needed. I believe in a gentle poach”

[@jonathonross4447]

Don’t forget the gentle texture of the ham

[@hunsua]

This channel is way better than Tasty

[@user-kl1on3nw7y]

hans chueh yess

[@charlescoates636]

Tasty is garbage

[@coffeewentcold]

*Tasty is Buzzfeed garbage

[@laurenbennett7674]

Not hard lol

[@RiotNoHigh5]

Because this are real chefs who has experience. Not like tasty that have like 1 chef who remake recipes from the internet.

[@FortYort]

Molly seems like a great addition to the test kitchen videos. Clever prep-work!

[@krnnova]

5:00 - "Be generous [with the hollandaise], it's kind of what we're here for." The moment Molly won me over!

[@The_Green_Queen]

Eric Kang please tell this to every brunch chef! Sometimes I say I like it saucy, when ordering.

[@uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

"Brad? We're filming." "So?"

[@AC-np2vc]

He’s so rude

[@scottrowe533]

Yep, that's Brad, alright.

[@shawng5982]

Carla comin through with the hangover lookin flawless

[@gattiyon]

*one glass of wine*

[@bl6973]

“Vortex isn’t necessary” **Carla stares with menacing eyes**

[@terryprice4560]

Everyone's hating on her voice lol. I thought she was sweet and relaxing! Great content! Definitely learned something

[@indianasquatchunters]

Terry Ruiz She top 3 with brad and Claire

[@uremawifenowdave]

So much vocal fry these days. It’s one of my pet hates. It’s the same with the high rising terminal she has at the end of each sentence, so that everything sounds like a question.

[@mariogiovanniorellanamenes3137]

Just your typical white girl lmao

[@Siggorillo]

This isn't vocal fry. She's just hoarse.

[@valentinfinozzi9358]

Is that an accent from somewhere in the US?

[@MuppetMan15]

Common Brad, just taste the fricking eggbennies!

[@leovomend8789]

he's afraid he'll fall in love

[@pnkfld7892]

And he’s about that life he’s got with Vincenzo

[@raquelpinedo5793]

Hello this is chef john from food wisHES!

[@annr7448]

yeeeess!! chef john would totally approve of this!

[@_helmi]

Thought the same haha. I was like she clearly a Chef John’s fan.

[@ridharadhitya6202]

This is exactly what i'm looking for

[@bungtan6483]

Oh yess

[@yeetusfetus8687]

"Don't believe in a vortex" omg is Molly shading Carla

[@trickycrayon]

100% what I thought lmfao

[@lol55832]

and then when she appeared, all less impressed, it got SUPER awkward

[@tracyhaver6178]

Molly threw shade and Carla rose above it. Nice!

[@blackdice1001]

i thought this said molly makes eggs benedict for a coward and tbh that made me feel like i could follow the instructions so i clicked

[@spotdogit]

Ha! I was here to watch her make them for a crow! Caw caw caw 🤣

[@buttonstack]

Who says no to Eggs Benedict?! I don’t think I can trust Brad anymore.

[@aus-li]

buttonstack I think he was busy, lol

[@TB-tz8dl]

Busy OR full of his own gorgeous food

[@jeanclaudevindiesel207]

I say no to eggs benedict, but that's cause I literally make it almost every day.

[@mikehuntsmels9680]

Jean Claude Vin Diesel ....same dude...chef in a brunch restaurant in a hotel..ive eaten so much in my life i cant do it no more haha

[@omaimaf9963]

John R didn't know chef john had another youtube channel...

[@fasteddie9970]

Molly = Eggs Bae 😍

[@TortillaVideo]

eggs baenedict

[@atreidestw]

Half-Sour Saffitz is still #1

[@MrAnonymous825]

Molly = bae in general

[@audioa41]

right?! "Cheese Louisiana!"

[@olliehopnoodle4628]

The poaching strategy is interesting. We make about 3 dozen eggs Benedict for an annual get together and it is always 'slowed down' by the poaching. They sure did look perfect!

[@lupe2947]

I really liked having her, her “but this is how I do it” way of cooking is just fantastic! More pleath

[@dmays67]

Solid gold. Love the prepping eggs tips (strainer, gentle boil, ice bath) and no messing about sauce method. My favourite brekky just got better. Cheers!

[@user-gj9bo9tn9z]

How did she not know about sous vide eggs for perfect poached eggs?

[@vanschaaykb]

"We've come this far with the butter sauce, why hold back now"... I love it, also my favourite breakfast.

[@MrSexxxyDevil]

Really like this simple approach to making these! Also Molly was really calming. Definitely looking forward to more from her.

[@kmbrly101]

I love the casualness of this video! Them eating the eggs benedict afterwards!! Love it.

[@Peterowsky]

"We're filming." "So?" "PIPE DOWN!" "Oh, ok"

[@crapmarine]

A PINCH OF CAYENNE! Where is the Chef John cameo???!?"?!?!?

[@1911Zoey]

lol

[@DarkAngelwing2]

Honestly the first thing that came to my mind too!

[@kirstenmaclellan3182]

Followed your recipie & tips this morning and it turned out amazing!! ... such a good tip to warm the blender! Thanks!

[@sidraafzal3132]

Love the recipes Molly! Thank you, very easy to understand directions.

[@rachelchang5943]

I really liked Molly as a host! And who doesn't love eggs benedict??

[@crittercosner2877]

Brad... apparently.

[@lth5015]

A pretty girl who's not afraid to put Brad in his place? I think I'm in love

[@m4x927]

lth5015 lol,I find her kinda cute

[@skibbz0r]

she's the perfect woman lol

[@BigPat6521]

Ah all pretty girls act out of pocket.

[@aileean19]

Put Brad in his place ? Wasn’t he just being too loud for her ?

[@evanhosley2360]

I love all of their contradicting poaching methods and the subtle egg related roasting

[@t0ferk]

Thank you Molly! I just made this for my mom for Mother's Day and she LOVED it

[@josht9977]

Brad was probably mad she yelled at him. Poor Molly had to eat all those eggs by herself :(

[@clintonleonard5187]

If I were Brad I'd be mad too. She could have just said, "Brad you're being too loud." Instead she said it all passive aggressive, "Brad, we're filming..."

[@blinkandrhcp]

Clinton Leonard it was humourous

[@lannievictoria]

Yeah she doesn’t seem the happiest on most episodes I’ve seen.

[@NoCommonSense9]

guys it was a joke c'mon

[@cantthinkofanyusername9738]

Chronos Havok I didnt see it, did they repost the video?

[@blackknighl]

I'm totally going to try this. Thanks

[@katherinep.8919]

Love it! Great presentation and an extremely useful topic. Awesome job, thank you!

[@kaich369]

Watching Molly cooking makes me feel warm on the inside.

[@michaeldiaz5943]

I love Carla haha

[@VardhanShrivastava]

i see a rivalry brewing, let the games begin!

[@Ella-queen97]

Everyone on this Chanel is so funny and down to earth and they are so thorough when explaining the cooking process which I love.

[@laurynhowell3329]

I love watching Molly's videos she's such a nice and relaxing presence. I think the right word would be lovely.

[@gavino299]

Great video. Never would have thought Eggs Benny were so easy to make at home. Nor did I expect to develop a crush on Molly. She seems so sweet and has the most adorable voice! More Molly showing us how to cook stuff we wouldn't expect to be able to pull off at home, please!

[@iBcPirate]

Great, relaxing video. Nice contrast to have from the usual Brad, and solid content too.

[@cory35hogan]

Brad was a little doucie towards Molly.

[@JohnSmith-vw5fd]

They got off on the wrong foot, they will fall in love eventually ;)

[@MarcosSerna]

BRAD ALL THE WAY!

[@mazinga702]

they're both married

[@kevinbender6153]

brad is lyfe.

[@bny7y]

she's a gentle soul

[@aniatasheva]

Molly is soooo professional and soooo pretty and sooo nice. I love her!

[@emilyblack7342]

Step aside, Brad. Molly's my new favourite. I feel like I'm in the kitchen with my cool sister where she's teaching me to make breakfast for the family on the first day of summer vacation.

[@donteventry.6560]

Alright feminist.

[@emilyblack7342]

Hamad Alshahwani it’s cute that you think that’s an insult

[@silverlve70]

Tell Brad to simmer down! LOL

[@Prsfl9973]

I LOVE Eggs Benedict, but have been afraid to make them until now. Thank you, Molly, for a wonderfully presented and informative presentation.

[@vincenzosplate]

Mmmm yummy

[@ittskaaat]

Hands down, molly is my favorite!!

[@mistymornings]

WE NEED MORE MOLLY

[@christinawhaley7]

I love that you captured that bit of sass at the end, hahaha. Great chef and great straightforward no-frills presentation of the recipe.

[@Sityaran]

I am so relieved I dont have to whisk the hollandaise anymore this is so much easier and also makes making the sauce and eggs benny at home a lot more accessible imo . sometimes bon appetite does a great job demystifying some dishes n provding alternate n more accessible techniques n i am SO HERE FOR IT !!!!

[@Nick-mg5xl]

This is an impressive preparation. I've always had so much trouble scaling this dish. Even for two people this feels like 5 times harder than making it for one in my experience

[@r_r608]

It’s interesting how different everyone in test kitchen look now compared to a couple years ago...

[@jojoturvey5565]

Made the sauce today and it turned out AMAZING!!

[@etcetraetcetra3173]

I like how confident she was in the video. Poaching eggs is little intimidating, and she made 6....dumped them in a large pot of water just like that. Brava, Molly! Thanks for the tips.

[@TheUniversalRocker]

a second of brad in a bon appetit video is better than most whole videos in youtube

[@ChuckFristian]

ohgoditsJT literally the only reason i watch all the non-brad bon appetit videos are for the brad cameos.

[@laricagrant9306]

I would love to hang out in the BA test kitchen!!! Never thought of this as an option for crowd sized Eggs Benedict, smart and easy. good job!

[@iloveaginganddying6207]

Just wanna say this method of poaching eggs is super easy and also worked really well for me! Thanks Molly!

[@revorocks123]

Saying no to eggs Benedict... Brad, how could you!

[@chipbobina9693]

On egg poaching: Carla: *No need to add vinegar.. definitely vortex* Molly: *Stop being aggressive to your eggs with the vortex method* Me: 😐🤯😫

[@PiaAmorin]

Beautiful recipe! Thanks!

[@dangitnicky]

Oh my god who is this adorable human being?! I wanna see more of this Molly.

[@chrisewers]

You can put the hollandaise in a foam canister in warm water to keep it set and make it easily dispensable.

[@stephaniemassengale7160]

Aww, look at Molly’s face when Brad says he doesn’t want to try one. A brief wince of pain. Quit being a jerk, Brad.

[@novemberm00n24]

I felt bad. She probably ate all of that by herself.

[@MagicalKid]

I feel like there's tension between them.

[@84Elenai]

I saw on another video that he (he looked like the same guy) had the same kind of answer for his other colleague Claire. At this point, I think he is kind of a jerk or, at least, a really arrogant dude. Girls look so down to earth, I don't know what is wrong with those male coworkers. Grow up guys and try to be nicer and more polite. Thank you.

[@josesoto3303]

84Elenai you gay

[@josephkim4723]

I think it's just a wrong time of the day. Seeing from the pocky episode, he seems to be careful of what he eats in the morning. It's probably one of those instinctive responses.

[@SuperJaXXas]

Looked this up as I'm making these tomorrow, sounds like some great tips....Gracias

[@iantimmons5608]

Easily one of the best channels I'm subscribed to. Quality content.

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

I thought Brad was being sarcastic when he rejected the benny. WHO SAYS NO TO EGGS BENNY?!?!

[@mattt688]

Jeez Louisiana

[@sarahguerrero7792]

Matt T Lol, I was looking to see if anyone else commented this before commenting. Made me giggle.

[@jacquesfoce6464]

This looks to be a great method - defo worth a try! Thanks Molly!!!

[@vivi_rn3255]

OMG! I did it today! It was perfect!! Can’t believe, best method ever!! Thanks Molly!

[@ricedaddy88]

Hollandaise in a blender, never would have thought about it but sounds sooooo much easier.

[@jinny8801]

so it's not quite Hollandaise I would call it mayo lol

[@fanity6]

I love Molly! She’s so sweet!

[@RunEscaqe3]

Brad in the back grou..shhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[@john_9603]

Does anyone know the amounts to use to scale down this hollandaise sauce to a one person recipe (1 or 2 eggs benny)

[@john_9603]

Update, blending 1 stick of butter and 3 egg yolks and a good squeeze of 1/2 lemon works great for 2

[@JBrizbn]

Outstanding!

[@RamblinRick_]

Two easy ways to clarify butter: 1) melt the butter and refrigerate for an hour, then scrape the solidified fats off the top; 2) strain melted butter through a coffee filter which is formed into a cone into a coffee cup. The butter drains into the cup, and the solids are filtered out.

[@philaeew4866]

Everyone's talking about her accent and here I am, English not being my mother tongue, and I'm already proud that I can tell she's American. I literally can't hear the difference between any English accents.

[@QuiChiYang2]

Molly, I'm old school on hollandaise which cooks the yolks, your's is really considered a mayo. Nice shortcut though. If u cook yolks using Dbl boiler method & incorporate ur method, perfect hollandaise!

[@catzkeet4860]

Hollandaise is a mayonnaise, just hot rather than cold but it’s still a liaison sauce of eggs and fat, whichEVER way you make it.

[@scottseifert4086]

That's what I was wondering about. That's gotta be a different sauce without heat. Mayonnaise or not, it's gotta come out different

[@The_Green_Queen]

I can cook just about anything, but hollandaise has always given me probs. @QuiChiYang2 do you have tips or a link for your method? I’m missing my bennies during quarantine! It’s one thing I’ve always let restaurants do for me..

[@TV9Newsguy]

I think she left out that the blender she used spins so fast it heats the ingredients. So it should be called Eggs Benedict for a crowd if you own a Vitamix.

[@neilharvey3168]

Thanks will definitely try.

[@lovestarbucksiloveit]

Simple! I love this series. Go Molly!
