Hollandaise sauce
4 egg yolks (This can be prepared in a blender or hand whisked in a bowl)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup hot, melted butter
Fresh herbs such as dill or tarragon (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

To plate the Eggs Benedict, place the sliced, toasted English muffins on a plate. Spoon a tablespoon of the hollandaise over the bread. Top each slice with your meat topping of choice, then the egg. Pour hollandaise over top, any fresh herbs you like, and any other topping you choose. Serve alongside crispy potatoes and a mimosa!
Mimosas are a wonderful beverage to serve alongside Egg Benedict. Let’s do mimosas with different nectars such as peach, guava, and strawberry. Any champagne or sparkling wine works beautifully. Just top it off with your nectar of choice (Kern’s nectars are delicious!) and enjoy!
Let’s also serve some oven home fries!
10-12 Yukon gold potatoes, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Place the diced potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with salt and pepper and olive oil, then roast 25-35 minutes or until crisp and golden. Toss the potatoes halfway through to evenly brown them.
Enjoy!
