EGGS BENEDICT
Steakhouse 55 – Disneyland® Hotel
INGREDIENTS
HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
• 2 large egg yolks
• Dash Tabasco
• Dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

FOR HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:

- Place mixing bowl over simmering water and whisk to cook the egg mixture. Move bowl on and off the heat to avoid scrambling eggs—approximately 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off, for 3 to 5 minutes or until egg mixture coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove bowl from heat and gradually whisk in small amounts of the warm clarified butter, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, mixing thoroughly before adding more butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
FOR EGGS BENEDICT:
- Cook Canadian bacon in large skillet over medium high heat until golden brown on both sides. Set aside and keep warm.
- Fill 2-quart saucepan half full with water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Crack the eggs into the water and cook 2 to 3 minutes until set and egg whites are opaque. Lift eggs out with a slotted spoon to drain. Set aside and keep warm.
TO SERVE:
- 1. Halve and toast English muffins. Place two halves on each plate. Top with 1 slice of Canadian bacon and 1 poached egg.
