Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 20 min.

Prepare 200 g hollandaise sauce.

Keep hot.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.

Prepare 4 poacheds eggs.

Keep hot.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 3 min.

Remove crusts of 4 slices sandwich bread.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Butter one side.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cut 2 slices smoked ham in 2, to get slices about the same size as the toast.

Heat the plates.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 1 min.

Put ham slices in a hot frying pan, 30 seconds on each side (if you use regular ham instead of smoked, leave until ham is lightly fried).

Keep hot.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

In the same pan, put the toast butter side down until well browned, then turn over and cook the other side for 1 minute.

If you are in a hurry, don't butter toast, just put in a toaster.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Put 1 slice of toast (or 2 if you are hungry) onto a hot plate, add a ham slice on top then a soft-boiled egg.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cover with hollandaise sauce. If possible decorate with a parsley leaf, and serve immediately.

Remarks

Try to use not completely white bread, but whole-wheat instead, your toast and your eggs Benedict will be better. Even better is to make your own sandwich bread. Don't be afraid, it's quite easy.
