How to Make Avocado Eggs Benedict

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  4. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.
  5. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/4 cup Gruyere, 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  7. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Keep warm.
  8. Fill a large skillet with 2-3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.

  10. Crack each egg individually into a small bowl.
  11. Gently slip each egg into the simmering water.
  12. Poach for 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
  13. While eggs poach, toast English muffins and keep warm.
  14. Place a slice of Canadian bacon and several avocado slices on each muffin half.
  15. Remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
