Easy Eggs Benedict with Bacon - So Much Better With Age

Hello readers! This is officially my first post on Jamie’s blog. I’m actually a little surprised she’s letting me do this but she did say she wanted more recipes and you likely don’t know this, but I love to cook! We actually have great synergy in the kitchen because she’s all about the baking and I’m all about the cooking. She gives me a few turns in the kitchen (or basically whenever my schedule allows) and I get to have a little fun and try to impress her with my amazing cuisine! I’ll just add this now so she doesn’t have add the editors note later:  Its not that amazing….but I think its pretty darn good.

So for my first recipe (assuming she let’s me do more) I thought I would offer the one that gets me the most compliments. Everyone seems to LOVE my Eggs Benedict. The funny thing is its actually a pretty simple recipe, but it does take a little time to make, and there are a few key techniques that take this from good, to great (despite using a packaged hollandaise mix). Grilling in butter and not toasting the muffins is one example, adding the lemon juice to the hollandaise sauce is another. Small things, but they add up.

Easy Eggs Benedict with Bacon

Fast and easy Eggs Benedict guaranteed to impress using a packaged hollandaise sauce mix and bacon
Author: Jamie Lundstrom - So Much Better With Age

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 pkg McCormick's hollandaise sauce mix
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (for hollandaise)
  • 1/2 cup butter (for hollandaise)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large pot of water
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 pkg bacon
  • 4 English muffins
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • paprika
  • dried or fresh dill weed (optional)
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. 
  • Place the bacon strips vertically on the baking sheet and bake until desired crispness (you may want to turn over the bacon strips for the last few minutes to help them cook more evenly).
  • Bring a pot of water to very light boil. Add the vinegar to the water (this helps the eggs to stay together).
  • Make the hollandaise sauce according the package instructions. If you cannot find McCormmick's mix, look for one that requires butter and water as those tend to taste the best. Add the lemon juice for a fresh kick to the sauce. Place a lid on the hollandaise to keep it warm while finishing up the rest of the recipe.
  • Take your muffins and cut them in half (if not pre-cut) and place them on a buttered skillet. I will often use a pot lid on top of them for even cooking. Remove once golden brown and place on your serving plates, 2 halves on each plate.
  • Remove the bacon and place the strips between a couple of layers of paper towel.
  • With the water at a very light boil, stir the water in a circle and place each egg one at a time into a mug, gently lower the mug into the water and drop it in. I wouldn't do more than 4 eggs at a time. Keep the water moving gently. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift one an egg to check done-ness. You want your egg fairly soft so gently poke it with your finger. If it feels like a loose water balloon its not quite done. You want just a little firmness on the outside. Once done, place a plate and roll it off the slotted spoon to help the rest of the water fall off.
  • Take the bacon and break the strips in half. Place 3 strips onto each open faced muffin.
  • Place one or two thin slices of tomato on top of the bacon.
  • Place one poached egg on top and then add about two dollops of hollandaise sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle the eggs benedict lightly with paprika, some fresh ground pepper and optionally a little bit of dill.

 

Cheers!

Aaron

 

Notes:  You can always go traditional and use ham instead of bacon. I recommend shaved Black Forrest ham and adding cooked spinach (from frozen) instead of tomato.

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can!

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
