1
Start by making the hollandaise sauce.
-
2
I went with a standard recipe as I wanted to explore and try something different.
-
3
This sauce was good, but I will use my own next time.
-
4
Start by slowly melting the butter in a medium sized skillet over medium low heat.
-
5
During this time, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne to a blender.
-
6
Blend the mixture at medium, to medium high speed until it lightens in color.
-
7
This will take about 20-30 seconds.
-
8
Once the yolks have lightened in color, turn the blender speed down to its lowest setting, and begin drizzling in the melted butter.
-
9
Do this very slowly, while the blender is still going.
-
10
Continue to blend until all of the butter has been added.
-
11
Turn off the blender, and taste the sauce.
-
12
It should be buttery, lemony and lightly salted.
-
13
Store in a warm spot until you are ready to use.
-
14
I stored mine near the stove.
-
15
Now, onto making the burger.
-
16
I used the same skillet that I melted the butter in to lightly cook the Canadian bacon, as well as make my burger.
-
17
I know, shameful right?
-
18
So add the Canadian bacon into the pan over medium heat and warm through on both sides.
-
19
Once the Canadian bacon is warmed through, set this aside.
-
20
Form your ground chuck into a ball, and season with salt.
-
21
Heat the skillet on medium high heat.
-
22
Add the burger into the hot skillet and let it cook for about three minutes.
-
23
Smash it down, and continue to cook for a few more minutes until the bottom is browned to your liking.
-
24
Flip, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your preference.
-
25
Remove it from the skillet, season with cracked pepper, and set aside.
-
26
Toast the English muffin using your preferred method.
-
27
I thinly sliced the tops off, and only used the bottoms of each.
-
28
I did this just so that I would have a bit larger muffin to work with on this burger.
-
29
Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter into another skillet and bring that up to medium heat.
-
30
Once melted, crack the egg.
-
31
I went with an over easy egg on this one, not poached.
-
32
Cook to your desired likeness.
-
33
Now it is time to build the burger.
-
34
Lay the burger on top of a slice of the toasted English muffin.
-
35
Add the Canadian bacon, then the egg, then pour over as much hollandaise sauce as you desire.
-
36
Top with the remaining muffin.
-
37
Dig in.
-
38
This is a two handed burger that you will most likely not want to put down.
-
39
If you feel guilty eating it, then I am OK with it.
-
40
Its not like you are eating these once a day, but you talk about a killer brunch burger idea, well, this would be the one.
-
41
I hope you enjoy the eggs benedict burger.
