{Gluten and Dairy Free} Eggs Benedict

This recipe goes out to those of you who are able to have eggs. Usually my recipes are egg-free, but I splurged and did one here that involves eggs.

I took this recipe and tweaked it a fair bit to make it my own. Enjoy!!

I discovered this way to poach eggs and was way impressed. By far it is the easiest method I have used and they came out perfectly!

4 Gluten-Free Buckwheat and Honey English Muffins, sliced in half.

Poach 8 eggs - See tips

Make the Hollandaise Sauce:

1. Put 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan and melt over low heat.
2. Whisk in gluten-free light rice flour and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in dairy-free substitute and return to medium heat. Continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove pan from heat and whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Return pan to low heat.
4. Whisk in melted butter, and lemon juice. Remove pan from heat. Hollandaise shouldn't be "too" thick. If needed, thin with a few drops of hot water.

Assemble Eggs Benedict -

Slice 2 English muffins in half and toast in a toaster reserved for gluten-free breads only. While the toast is browning, place ham in a skillet and warm over low heat. Butter each English muffin, fold 2 slices of ham on each slice, top each muffin with 2 poached eggs. Spoon about 4 tablespoons of warm Hollandaise over each. Serve with additional buttered English muffins if desired.
