Recipe View 2 mins Assemble the Eggs Benedict: Place the toasted English muffin halves on plates. Top each with a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by a poached egg. Generously drizzle with Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For a richer Hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter.
Keep the Hollandaise sauce warm by placing the double boiler over a very low heat or in a warm spot.
To prevent the eggs from spreading too much while poaching, create a whirlpool in the water with a spoon before adding the eggs.
If you want to prepare the dish for a larger group, keep poached eggs in a bowl of ice water after cooking. Before serving, rewarm them in hot (not boiling) water for about 30 seconds.
