Eggs Benedict With Canadian Bacon And Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs and 1/4 cup of the dressing with wire whisk until well blended; set aside. Spray medium skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium heat. Add egg mixture. Cook 3 min. or until eggs begin to set; stir. Cook an additional 2 min. or until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid remains, stirring occasionally. (Do not overstir.)
• Heat Canadian bacon as directed on package. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/4 cup dressing and the milk in small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 20 sec. or until heated through.
• Cut Canadian bacon slices in half. Place muffin halves, cut-sides up, on serving platter. Top each with 3 Canadian bacon slices. Cover evenly with the egg mixture, dressing mixture, tomatoes and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and add the spinach and a pinch of salt. Sauté until wilted. Set aside.
• Butter the English muffin and toast in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until brown.
• Heat a pot of water over medium heat. With a wooden spoon, swirl the water in the same direction.
• Quickly add the egg into the center of the swirling water, cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes or until egg white is set and yolk is still runny.
• Remove egg from water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• In a blender, add the egg yolks and pulse for one minute. Add in the lemon juice, salt, and cayenne and run the blender. Slowly add in the melted butter and continue to blend until the mixture lightens in color. Add more melted butter for thinner consistency.
• Assemble the Benedict by layering the english muffin with the bacon, spinach, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.
• Top with fresh chives.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange rack in middle. Butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins and set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it foams, add onion, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until spinach is well wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Place ham on bottom of ramekins and top with spinach. Crack eggs into ramekins, place 1 tablespoon cream over each egg, and divide half of cheese evenly among ramekins.
• Put ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through baking, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread remaining 2 tablespoons butter on 4 slices sourdough bread. Top with grated cheese and toast until golden brown. Serve eggs with toast.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Cook the Canadian bacon in the hot oil until brown and a little crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and shallots to pan, and cook until they brown and soften, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach with whatever water clings to the leaves, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Raise the heat to high, stir the spinach, incorporating any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cover and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add the vinegar. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water, blot dry with a paper towel.
• Divide the bacon between 4 plates, top with spinach and then with the poached eggs.

Steps:

• To Make Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
• Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
• Preheat oven on broiler setting. To Poach Eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a gentle simmer, then add vinegar. Carefully break eggs into simmering water, and allow to cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Yolks should still be soft in center. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a warm plate
• While eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast the English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler.
• Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one poached egg. Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.
