Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Lobster Benedict:

  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 egg yolks (for hollandaise sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Optional: Sautéed spinach or avocado slices for layering

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster:

  1. Warm the Lobster: In a pan over low heat, gently warm the cooked lobster meat with a tablespoon of butter. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Keep warm while preparing the other components.

Poach the Eggs:

  1. Boil Water: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar.
  2. Crack the Eggs: Crack each egg into a small bowl.
  3. Poach the Eggs: Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and slide each egg in one at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  4. Remove and Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain.

Make the Hollandaise Sauce:

  1. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
  2. Heat Over a Double Boiler: Place the bowl over simmering water (without touching the water). Gradually drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until thickened.
  3. Season: Add hot sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Assemble the Lobster Benedict:

  1. Toast the English Muffins: Lightly toast the muffin halves until golden brown.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Place warmed lobster meat on each toasted muffin half.
  3. Top with Poached Eggs: Carefully place a poached egg on top of the lobster.
  4. Drizzle with Hollandaise Sauce: Spoon warm hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika and fresh chives or parsley.
