So, as long as you know how to poach eggs (<<easy directions on that link there!), how to toast an English muffin and cook bacon, the blender Hollandaise sauce is a piece of cake! Learning how to make Eggs Benedict is going to take no time at all!

Ingredients
for the Eggs Benedict:
- 8 eggs
- 4 English muffins
- 8 slices of bacon
- a handful of spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- hot sauce, Frank's or Tabasco sauce work well
Instructions
- Cook your bacon and then set it on some paper towels.
Make the hollandaise sauce by doing the following:
- Combine the lemon juice and egg yolks together in a blender.
- Add the salt and pepper.
- Heat 1/2 cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and sputtering, turn on the blender on a low speed and add the melted butter slowly in a thin stream. The sauce should look dark yellow in color and be thick. If it is not, blend for a few more seconds.
- Fill a large pot with very warm water. Place the blender in the pot to keep the sauce warm. (It won't work if you let it cool and reheat.)
- Toast the English muffins and spread about a teaspoon of butter on each muffin half.
- Place a few spinach leaves on each half and top with a slice of bacon.
- Poach your eggs. (Easy directions for this on www.SomewhatSimple.com/poached-eggs) Place one egg on top of each English muffin.
- Pour a small amount of Hollandaise sauce on each egg.
- Top with chopped parsley and a dash of hot sauce if you like spice.
