Our Favorite Breakfast Benedict
Eggs Benedict is one of those classic breakfast dishes we order often when going out - but never make it at home. There's no reason NOT to make it at home, especially with this deliciously easy recipe that is sure to wow your family!
Serve with avocado toasts, cardamom coffee, and a fig and chevre salad or Lemon Poppyseed Glazed Fruit Salad for a brunch at home you'll never forget!
Perfect Poached Eggs
Poaching eggs is very simple, easy task - but it can be intimidating if you've never poached an egg before.
Poaching involves cooking the eggs in a pot of boiling water, to gently cook eggs. A perfect poached egg will have a fully cooked white - but a runny, luxurious egg yolk.
When poaching eggs there are a few tips to keep them perfect, every time - like creating a swirl of water in the pot to drop the egg into, to be sure they don't separate and cook as a circle (it really does work!)
For the absolute easiest poached eggs, check out the egg cups we suggest using below - they make getting perfect poached eggs easy every time.
How To Poach Eggs
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- Use a wooden spoon, and stir to create a "tornado" vortex in the middle of the pot.
- Crack the egg into the center of the vortex.
- The spinning of the water helps to prevent white wispies from going all over the place off of the egg.
- Cook until the egg starts to solidify, then create a swirling vortex and add another egg.
- Cook the eggs for 3 minutes each, continuing to wait to add another egg until solidified to prevent them from sticking together.
How Long To Poach Eggs
For a firm egg white with a decadent runny yolk, poach eggs for 4 minutes.
Poached Egg Silicone Cups
We love using this super simple egg poacher to keep our eggs shaped perfect and keep them from sticking to each other or breaking.
You can also use a ramekin or other silicone cup.
What Bread To Use For Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict is usually served over toasted English muffins or crumpets - but you can use other breads, buns, and rolls if you prefer.
Keto Bread Choices
You can swap english muffins for a keto bread from the store (we love Simple Truth Puff Bunz for eggs benedict), or one of our easy keto "breads" below:

- The Best Air Fryer Keto Rolls Recipe
- The Best Easy Keto Garlic Butter Rolls Recipe
- Easy Keto Everything Bagels Recipe
- Easy Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls Recipe
Easy Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
Hollandaise sauce is another seemingly intimidating, but actually incredibly easy to make classic recipe.
Hollandaise sauce is a simple emulsion of egg yolk, butter, and lemon juice.

FAQs
If you want to make the hollandaise ahead of time, or you have leftover hollandaise sauce you want to save for later (it is divine over roasted asparagus), immediately place in a glass airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Hollandaise sauce only lasts 1 to 2 days.
