Tip:: to get your egg to stay together in the simmering water, stir the water before adding the egg to make a vortex. Then slide the egg into the center of the vortex so the spinning motion can keep your egg from spreading out. Looks delicious!!

[@daveklein2826]

Not necessary

[@haroonzia2214]

​@@daveklein2826 that's why it's just a a tip; not an obligatory rule. if something helps, nothing wrong with sharing it.

[@MegaSammich]

@@U43A he explained why not to use too much vinegar. nothing about not creating a vortex

[@MegaSammich]

@@U43A rolling boil is referring to the temperature of the water, not creating a vortex in the water

I love the toaster !! What’s the name or where can I buy it from ? Thank you . I also saved your recipe.

[@blackpearlcortes8511]

This man is my platonic Love! Is there anything he can't do!! I love all his recipes and his gentle demeanor to cook/bake everything!

[@kittenhoodie]

Such great timing because I planned on surprising my husband with homemade eggs Benedict on Christmas morning.

[@lvanetten8508]

Can we get a video of you sharing your pots and pans collection? I love your cooper pots so much and will love to see your whole collection 🥰

[@avatarwormette]

Copper pans are soooo good. If cleaned properly - they can outlive their owners!

Dude that would be soo cool . . . Btw do *not* fix that typo I love it

[@ArreisMorsCI]

How awesome is your timing???? I want to make a Lemon Meringue Pie and your video pops up with you saying to save the whites for just that!!! Now I know EXACTLY what we're having for breakfast AND dessert in a couple days!!!!

[@aaronowen4425]

I love capers on top instead of chives - other people may not but I think they go perfect with eggs benedict.

[@markofdistinction6094]

60ish years ago when I was growing up, we had an aluminum egg poacher. It was basically a double boiler, but the upper part was an aluminum tray with 4 spots just big enough to pour an egg into each cup. It worked beautifully. I wonder why these aren't available anymore.

[@centerbfd]

They are! They call them coddlers because coddling and poaching are technically different.

[@feliciawillson3345]

I just bought a egg poacher at William Sonama

I made this dish, this morning for a special Christmas breakfast, everyone loved it! Thank you for the inspiration to make a dish I haven’t done for years.

[@gloria267]

I often make these on weekends. I add wilted spinach and use smoked paprika. The regular paprika doesn't have enough taste for me. As an aside, I've noticed in many of your videos that you often leave the handle of your pots and pans sticking outwards. This is dangerous. It's best you turn those handles away from where you can accidentally hit them or your boys can grab them. Love all your videos! You've given me so many useful tips and I love your passion and energy.

[@tanyadrake5674]

Eggs Benedict is so good in the summertime with homegrown tomatoes😊

[@JL-1701]

John thank you for making this seem not as intimidating as I thought. I will be making it this weekend! 🍳 🥓

[@melaniebishop480]

I love poached eggs. Hollandaise sauce is always a great bonus. You can keep the ham/bacon/ whatever.

[@lindab2144]

These are my favorite to order when we go out to breakfast. I've never attempted to make my own sauce. This looks so easy. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardsrj64]

I love eggs benedict. When I make my hollandaise, I add some gruyere cheese and mustard to give it a little kick. It also makes it extra creamy and smooth. When I first met my husband, I made these at an impromptu brunch for some friends. I guess he was so impressed that he didn't get let go.

[@nicshu2171]

I add touch of French dijon (Maille brand)- it adds just the right amount of complexity and cuts the richness a a bit

[@nicshu2171]

I'll add gruyere next time- great idea!

[@TheCelestialFox]

I love eggs Benedict too! Not the one you’re thinking of…

[@6kids3cats]

My 6 kids’ favorite! My husband used to make this for them on Sunday mornings when they were little

Dude... those look so good. I almost took a bite out of my phone. Thanks for the step by step instruction.

[@desirees5502]

One of my all time favorite dishes! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@charliebarnes7514]

Hi John. Hi all. A little trick I do with Canadian Bacon is cut small slits, with my kitchen shears, all the way around. This keeps it from curling and it cooks evenly. I also do this with regular bacon, on the fattier sections, when pan frying. It'll lay flat. The slits disappear as it cooks.

[@veni.vidi.reliqui7946]

That is a great tip! I imagine that would work with almost any meat that tends to curl up while cooking! Thank you !!

[@TheDingus23]

To keep Canadian bacon from curling I take away their brooms.

I like putting a teaspoon of hollandaise and some chives on the muffin beneath the Canadian bacon right before serving - great for ppl with arthritis / dexterity issues but I love it that way too! Thanks for a great tutorial and your kitchen is SO gorg!

I just made this dish this morning for my husband's birthday and he LOVED it! Thanks so much for breaking down each step, especially the tips for successfully poaching eggs. I didn't think it was possible but I made four eggs that stayed together and the Hollandaise was creamy and perfect. You mentioned the easier to prepare 'coddled' eggs - can you link this video to that recipe? I will try that next time. Happy New Year😁

[@crystaldance5731]

I’ve never tried this it looks delicious ❤️😊

[@texasstardust6010]

...I started making Eggs Benedict with " fluffy scrambled eggs, " when my daughters were in Jr.High School, they werent keen on the poached Eggs, lol... and all these years ( Decades, dare I say ...lol) later ... its my favourite way to make Eggs Benedict... with scrambled eggs... but they must be fluffy! I make my Hollandaise on the Stovetop, but I can appreciate this simple version. :)

Thanks man, we enjoyed our eggs Benedict because of this video.

[@melque_au]

I loved this recipe and I'd like to give a piece of advice. The first time I cooked it I followed the exactly what he said in every way, I just divided the ingrediets by 2, because it would be just for me and my partner and also used sourdough bread instead of muffins. It worked beautifully! My partner was mesmerized with the breakfast and he said it tasted better than the one we usually have in the cafe down the road. While I was cooking, I focused all the time in following the recipe step by step and used good ingredients. The second time I made it, I cooked even a smaller portion because it was just for myself, and I got the same beautiful result. But today (3rd attempt), I used a "Jumbo egg" (the extra extra large) and the egg white was more watery, I also used bottled lemon juice. Besides that, I was no focused in what I was doing because I was organizing other things in the kitchen. Well, this third time was completely messed up, the taste was horrible. It was very bitter because of the bottled lemon juice, so use squeeze a real lemon and make a lemonade with the rest of it. I didn't really enjoy my breakfast (I ate it, though 😂). Thus, if you guys are going to prepare this recipe, you need to have time on your hands, you need to focus in what you are doing, follow the steps and use good ingredients. It's definitely worth it. Thank you John! ❤

Fun fact- Eggs Benedict was James Bond’s favourite meal.

[@SuperGolgotha]

I worked in a very busy restaurant and Sunday brunch was a big deal. I was never interested in eggs Benedict until recently. Now I love it. Anyway, your comment about restaurants usiing too much vinegar made me laugh because now, thinking back I remember the egg station having a large pot of water to poach eggs in. Brunch lasted from 10-2 and Im sure as the water evaporated they would add more as needed and I bet they added more vinegar each time too.

[@BunMckenna66]

I like your toaster❤
