Ingredients:
Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  2. 4 large egg yolks
  3. 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice

  5. 1 – 2 pinches cayenne pepper (optional)
  6. Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Eggs Benedict:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 English Muffins
  • 4 Peameal Bacon Slices

Instructions:
To Make the Hollandaise Sauce:

Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water. Set a stainless steel or glass bowl over saucepan that fits nicely without touching water. Bring water to a simmer.
Add cream, egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, and cayenne pepper to bowl over saucepan whisk well. Cook mixture, whisking constantly, until just thick enough to coat the back of a metal or wooden spoon and temperature reaches 160 degrees.

To Make the Air Fryer Poached Eggs:

Spray four ramekins with cooking spray or olive oil.
Crack one egg into each ramekin.
Put all four ramekins in the Air Fryer and cook for 5 minutes at 400.

To Prepare English Muffins and Bacon:

Cook the peameal in the airfryer at 400 for 8 minutes flipping halfway.
Meanwhile toast English muffins in a toaster oven, or under broiler (setting muffins on a baking sheet) until just golden brown on top.

To Assemble Eggs Benedict:
Lay a slice of Peameal bacon atop each English muffin. Top each with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper. Spoon or pour Hollandaise sauce over top, garnish with parsley.
