Naked Eggs Benedict | Food Wishes

This easy, stripped-down version of eggs benedict involves no egg poaching, or Hollandaise sauce making! But, thanks to a simple-to-make lemon butter sauce, the taste is virtually identical to classic eggs benedict. That’s right, eggs benedict for one is now a thing! Enjoy!

    Just tried this. Personal opinion: for me, in the amounts specified for the sauce recipe, just a bit too much lemon taste over the eggs, overwhelms the taste of the eggs, despite the fact I love the taste of almost all things lemon. I appreciate that it accomplishes what I was hoping for: a version of eggs benny without the messing around making a more complicated benny sauce. If two plates were put in front of me, one with a well prepared true eggs benny and the other one with this dish... I'd eat the eggs benny. And then I'd also eat this dish - it's lemony, it's buttery, it's good; just different. Next time, while the eggs are cooking in the oven I'll mess around with the amounts of butter and fresh lemon juice to see if I can tune the sauce ingredient amounts to something more to my taste. Thanks for developing and sharing this recipe, John.

So maybe I'll do these with the egg whites in the ham and the yolks in a hollandaise for the top. Can we get a video on the easy way to make a hollandaise, or even a +yolk version of this supremely yummy looking sauce which will definitely be going on some pasta in my future.

    Dear Chef John, As inappropriately awkward and direct as this may be, I have for many years wanted to tell you how you have impacted my life in regards to cooking. See, my mother is a trained chef. To be perfectly honest however, she has never been the easiest person to learn from. I do not mean this as an insult to my parenting; we're just asian, y'know what I mean? "If e' dun geddit, just shove it in." Because cooking had never been a priority in my life, y'know, asians are all about the doctor / engineer / rocket scientist thing, said shoving had never been covered in the culinary respect. That was, until, I somehow came across the blog one day. Yeah I live in the same country as XiaXue, if you remember her. I don't follow her so I have no clue what she's ever up to, for which reason I've never actually found a reason to appreciate, but dang, 13, 2008, was when I for the first time began to become curious about mushrooms. Until then they would literally make me gag if I smelled them. I'd choked on one as a child. In my personal opinion you will always be the greatest culinary mentor I have ever had the privilege I never knew I'd ever want. While I am not a chef per se, cooking is now genuinely as much a part of my life as any of the other favourite things in my life ever will be. So I just wanted to say thank you.

    Genius. Nobody has ever poached just two eggs and felt like it was worth the effort. Also, best pun so far this time

    Thanks Chef! Not a fan of runny eggs but this looks like it would be a perfect way to make a small quiche for one. I am going to test that tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Looks great! Love the way it plates up. The ham looks like a flower. Very "fahn-cy" 😃
