๐Ÿณ Impress your guests with this restaurant-quality Lobster Benedict that’s surprisingly easy to make at home

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 4 English muffins, split and toasted

– 4 fresh eggs

– Fresh herbs or sliced green onions for garnish

– 4 (4-ounce or about 113 grams each) cold water lobster tails

– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter for the butter-poached lobster

– 3 egg yolks for the hollandaise sauce

– 1/2 to 1 stick unsalted butter (or use butter from the poached lobster) for the hollandaise sauce

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice for the hollandaise sauce

– Kosher salt, to taste

– Freshly cracked pepper, to taste

– Cayenne pepper, to taste

– Plant-based lobster substitutes

– Cashews to make hollandaise

– Aquafaba to make hollandaise

– Gluten-free bread to replace English muffins

Instructions

1-First, prepare the lobster: Cut down the length of the lobster tails, remove the meat, pat it dry, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat, then poach the lobster in that butter over medium-low heat for about two minutes per side until it’s opaque and tender. Chop it into large pieces once it’s done.

2-Second, toast the English muffins: Split and toast your 4 English muffins until they’re golden brown, using a bit of butter for that extra flavor if you like.

3-Third, poach the eggs: Drain any excess watery whites from your 4 fresh eggs, then simmer water gently and cook each egg for two minutes and forty-five seconds to get that perfect runny yolk.

4-Fourth, make the hollandaise sauce: Blend 3 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon lemon juice until lightened, then slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter while blending until it’s smooth and thick. Season it to taste with kosher salt, freshly cracked pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper.

5-Fifth, assemble the dish: Place the chopped lobster meat on the toasted English muffin halves, top with a poached egg, pour the hollandaise sauce over it, and garnish with fresh herbs or sliced green onions.

6-Finally, serve immediately: This ensures the best taste and texture, with everything warm and ready to enjoy.

Notes

๐Ÿฆž Use cold water lobster tails for the most tender and sweet meat
๐Ÿฅš Fresh eggs are crucial for perfect poaching – drain excess watery whites before cooking
๐ŸŒฟ Keep hollandaise sauce warm but not hot to prevent it from breaking – use a double boiler if needed
