Preparation
Step 1
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the bacon on a baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, depending on how crispy or chewy you want your bacon. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour the grease into a mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a food processor or blender, add the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne. Blend on low speed for a few seconds. With the food processor or blender running on low speed, slowly pour in the bacon grease and butter. In about 30 seconds to 1 minute, the homemade hollandaise will be ready.
To build the eggs benedict, starting by splitting the English muffins (there will be 8 halves in total). Place a slice of bacon torn in half on top of each muffin, followed by a poached egg. Top with the hollandaise sauce and garnish with the chives.
