CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT
There are conflicting theories about the origin of Eggs Benedict, but most trace the dish to New York City in the late 1800s. Hollandaise sauce is much older: It appears in a French cookbook from 1651 and was later known as Sauce Isigny, named for a town in Normandy. The name was changed to hollandaise after World War I, when butter was scarce in France and had to be imported from Holland.

Steps:
- Make the hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until no longer foamy (but not browned), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the clear butter to a liquid measuring cup, leaving the milk solids on the bottom of the pan; discard the solids.
- Heat 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not simmering. Combine the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a medium stainless-steel bowl. Set the bowl on the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is pale yellow and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Check periodically to make sure the water isn't boiling or the egg yolks might overcook.
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan; slowly pour in the melted butter, a drop at a time at first, whisking constantly until thick. Whisk in the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the cayenne and ¼ teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in some warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen. Return the bowl to the saucepan of water with the heat turned off to keep warm; whisk occasionally.
- Make the Eggs Benedict: Fill a large wide pot with 3 inches of water. Heat over medium-high heat until steaming with small bubbles; reduce the heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer. Stir in the vinegar. Crack 4 eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Carefully tip the eggs into the water, spacing them as far apart as possible. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 3½ minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen towel. Gently blot the eggs dry and trim off any wispy pieces. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until lightly browned and warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins and spread with butter.
- Top each English muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Thin the hollandaise sauce with more warm water, if necessary, and season with salt. Spoon over the poached eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives.
EGGS BENEDICT WITH VIRGINIA HAM AND CORNBREAD
Nothing says "special breakfast" like eggs Benedict. Here, the classic is given a southern treatment, with paper-thin slices of Virginia ham and a velvety hollandaise spooned atop rounds of freshly baked cornbread. For best results, use only the freshest eggs for poaching. This wonderful recipe comes from Casual Cuisines of the World -- Country Inn.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

- FOR CORNBREAD: In a bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in the shortening until crumbly.
- Add the corn kernels, buttermilk and eggs and stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Transfer to the prepared pan.
- Bake until the top is a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Using a round cutter 3 1/2 inches in diameter, cut out 4 rounds.
- Slice each round in half horizontally.

- FOR HOLLANDAISE SAUCE: In a stainless-steel bowl, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, shallot, vinegar and salt.

- Remove from the heat and whisk in the water and cayenne.
- Then, while whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the clarified butter until all of it has been used and a thick emulsion has formed.
- Cover and keep warm.
- FOR EGGS: Pour water into a large frying pan to a depth of 3 inches and bring to a boil.
- Adjust the heat so the water is just below the boiling point.
- Add the salt and vinegar.
- One at a time, crack the eggs into a small ramekin or tea cup and gently lower into the water.
- Work as quickly as possible so that all the eggs will cook in about the same amount of time.

- Trim away any straggly strands of egg.

Steps:
- Add the egg yolks to a blender or a food processor. Add in the lemon juice and blend for several seconds. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Turn off the blender and add in a little salt and cayenne. Whip it again until combined. Set this aside for a minute. Next, poach an egg by gently cracking an egg into simmering, slightly bubbling water. Leave the egg alone for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, and then remove it with a slotted spoon and carefully place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs. To serve, place a buttered, toasted English muffin half on a plate. Top the English muffin with a warm slice of Canadian bacon. Place the warm poached egg on top. And then drizzle on some warm hollandaise. Sprinkle a little paprika on top.

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.

- In a bowl ready for a double boiler, off the heat, whisk together the water, white wine vinegar and egg yolks. Place over simmering water and whisk until the texture becomes thick and frothy. Do not overcook the mixture so as not to scramble the egg yolks.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, pour in the white vinegar. Break the eggs into small ramekins. Slowly pour them into the simmering water 4 eggs at a time. Poach for 2 to 3 minutes or until the desired doneness. Normally, the yolk should be runny and the white cooked but still wobbly. Drain the eggs on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- In non-stick skillet, heat the slices of bacon (or smoked ham) in the butter and maple syrup, for 1 minute or until warmed through. Set aside.
