Fancy Breakfast For Dinner

Eggs Benedict! (Sans Canadian bacon of course).

Ingredients:
1  English muffin, split
1 packet McCormick's Hollandaise sauce mix
1/2 stick butter
1 cup water
2 eggs
dash Paprika or Chili Pepper for garnish

Cooking:
Timing is the biggest issue with this dish. Start the sauce first! Follow the directions on the sauce packet. While the butter is melting, start boiling some water to poach the eggs in. Once the sauce mixture is boiling, when you reduce heat and simmer it for a minute throw your eggs in the boiling water and start toasting your English muffins. Splash some water on top of the yolk so a thin layer of opaque white covers them and keeps them warm, but not cooking them solid. Once the white layer over the eggs appears and the whites are cooked, the eggs are ready.

Assembly:
Two methods-
1) Sauce lovers- Put English muffins on plate. Top with a spoonful of the sauce, then egg, then more sauce and garnish if desired.
2)Sauce conscious eaters- Top English muffin with egg, then sauce, then garnish.
