Ingredients Table

Before you dive in, make sure you’ve got everything prepped. These ingredients are simple, halal-friendly, and easy to find.

Ingredient	Amount	Notes
English muffins	2 halves	Choose a whole grain or gluten-free option if needed
Eggs	4	Fresh and free-range, if possible
Turkey bacon or smoked salmon	4 slices	Avoid pork — halal substitutes only
Unsalted butter	1/2 cup	Melted, used in hollandaise
Egg yolks (for sauce)	3	Make sure they’re room temperature
Lemon juice	1 tbsp	Freshly squeezed for brightness
Dijon mustard (optional)	1/2 tsp	Adds depth but can be skipped
Salt	To taste	Sea salt preferred
White vinegar	1 tbsp	Helps poach eggs neatly

Pro Tip: If you’re avoiding butter, try clarified ghee for a slightly nuttier flavor and a higher smoke point — all while staying halal.

Step-by-Step:

This version cuts through the complexity. Just follow these easy steps and you’ll serve a picture-perfect plate every time.

1. Poach the Eggs

Poaching might seem tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quick and rewarding.

• Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water.
• Add white vinegar — it helps the egg whites firm up quickly.
• Crack eggs one at a time into a ramekin.
• Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and slide each egg in.
• Let it cook for 3-4 minutes. You want that golden yolk to stay runny.
• Scoop out with a slotted spoon and rest on a paper towel.

Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pot — two eggs at a time max for best results.

2. Toast Your Muffins & Warm the Bacon

While the eggs poach, toast your muffins until golden and crisp. In a separate pan, heat your halal turkey bacon or smoked salmon slices until they’re slightly crisp around the edges.

3. Blender Hollandaise Magic

Here’s where the recipe goes from good to “how-did-you-make-this” level.

• In a blender, add:
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• Blend on medium for about 30 seconds.
• Slowly pour in the hot, melted butter while blending. Go slow!
• The sauce will thicken and turn creamy like magic.

If your sauce is too thick, just add a teaspoon of warm water and blend again.

Tips to Master Your Eggs Benedict with Blender Hollandaise

Want to get it just right? Here are a few ways to elevate your brunch game:

• Use room temperature eggs — they poach more evenly.
• Whirl the water before dropping in the eggs for a centered yolk.
• Use clarified butter or ghee for a richer, silkier hollandaise.
• Add a pinch of paprika or cayenne to the finished sauce for a warm finish.
• Assemble quickly so everything stays warm and delicious.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

You don’t have to rush in the morning to enjoy this dish. Here’s how to prep ahead:

• Poached eggs: Cook them a day before and store in an airtight container filled with water. When you’re ready, just reheat in hot (not boiling) water for 1 minute.
• Hollandaise sauce: Best fresh, but can be kept warm in a thermos or a bowl over warm water for up to an hour.
• Toasted muffins and turkey bacon: Toast and pan-fry in advance, then warm in the oven before assembling.

Don’t be afraid to get creative. Eggs benedict is endlessly customizable:

• Florentine Style: Swap meat for sautéed spinach with garlic.
• Salmon Lover’s Benedict: Use thin slices of smoked salmon.
• Avocado Benedict: Add mashed or sliced avocado for creaminess.
