Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 Blender or Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 4 Toasted English muffins slit crosswise
- 4 peameal bacon slices slices of Canadian bacon
- 4 poached eggs see below
- Hollandaise sauce see below
For the poached Eggs:
- 4 eggs
For the Blender Hollandaise sauce:
- 100 g of butter
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by placing your peameal bacon slices in the air fryer. Slices can't be on top of each other, so depending on how many you are making and the size of your air fryer, you may need to make them in batches. Pro tip: Line the air fryer with foil paper or grease the pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Now, let's work on your easy hollandaise sauce. Melt your butter in the microwave or a small saucepan. In a blender cup, combine one egg yolk and vinegar, then start blending while slowly adding a thin stream of melted butter. It's practically magic – by the time the butter is all in, your sauce is ready to steal the show! Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
- To warm up several English muffins in a jiffy, the quickest route is to line them up on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for a couple of minutes. But you can also use your air fryer or toaster if you prefer.
- Time to tackle the poached eggs. Pour one cup of water into the Instant Pot. Drop one egg into each silicone cup, place them on the trivet, and lower it carefully into the Instant Pot. Set it to pressure cook on high for 2-4 minutes. When the time's up, release the pressure manually. Open the lid and check for doneness – the egg whites should be cooked, and if you give the pot a little jiggle, you should see those yolks dancing a bit. If the egg whites need more time, cover the pot for an extra minute or two; the residual heat will finish the job. Lift the trivet and delicately scoop out those perfectly poached eggs. If you find they are very wet you can blot them with a paper towel.
- Now that everything is ready, let's assemble the Eggs Benedict: Begin by slathering a bit of the hollandaise sauce on top of the English muffin. Then add the peameal bacon on top of each slice, followed by the poached egg, and top it with more hollandaise sauce. To garnish, you can use fresh chives, paprika, or cayenne pepper. That's it! Go impress everyone
