Good! I used a pinch of cayenne instead of white pepper and subbed a little bit of vinegar for the Worchestershire, but it was good both ways. Much easier than the last recipe I tried.

Because this is my favorite "eat out" breakfast, I was afraid to prepare it at home...but this Christmas morning with the help of my kids, we jumped into the unknown! All I can say is, "FABULOUS!". Preparing the eggs ahead of time and keeping them in ice water was a great suggestion and made what could have been a hectic preparation a simple one! Don't resist! Try this recipe!

Too lemony for us - next time I'll try cutting the amount of lemon in half. My mom suggested using tarragon too. Easy to make for a first timer like me!

Wow was this good! I followed the recipe just about exactly, except I made it for 2 servings instead of 4. I also cut the butter in half for the hollandaise sauce and substituted the other half with vegetable oil. I took the advice of the other reviewers and prepped adequately first! All the pots and pans were ready, makeshift doubleboiler heated up (sauce pan with stainless steel mixing bowl sitting in it but not touching the water), and used deli ham instead of canadian bacon. Also, toasted the muffins instead of using the boiler. The sauce thickened up nicely as I left it there warm and poached the eggs while cooking the ham. Had the water at just about a simmer and they poached amazingly! Had never poached an egg before, but wow I did it! This recipe rules. Thanks!

My daughter is a new cook, she made this and the family enjoyed it. She watched a video on poaching eggs while she was making it which helped. She added Worcestershire sauce which added to the flavor.

This was my first attempt at eggs benedict and it turned out very well. The instructions are clear and simple to follow. My boyfriend loves eggs benedict and he gave this a big thumbs up.

The hollandaise sauce is awful! It has way too much lemon- to the point that it makes the entire meal taste like it has gone bad.

What am I missing? This recipe calls for a full cup of butter when everything else I've read requires only a half cup, that is one stick. The wife teases me for not trying out recipes verbatim at least the first time, and determined to go by the book the ideal consistency of thickness was reached after half the butter was applied and was irreparable after adding the rest. As an amateur I'm willing to accept if I made a mistake somewhere especially since I seem to be the only one who caught this. For now I will try the 5 minute recipe made easy by using a blender.

LOVED IT!!! My boyfriend and I were having important guests over for breakfast and this was the perfect dish and a wonderful recipe. The sauce so delish, I even had some left over to make eggs the next morning..... I know I'm not great on lemon so I reduced the lemon by 1 1/4 TB and it worked out great. It did turn out a bit thick while making it so I ended up adding the 2 TB of hot water and then it was the perfect consistency. After broiling and buttering the English Muffins I put the Canadian bacon on them and stuck the back in the turned off oven with the door open just to keep them warm until all the eggs are done. I also took one suggestion of topping off with a pinch of Paprika and it was wonderful. I highly recommend pairing this breakfast with Orange Julius!
