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!

"Which is optional but also mandatory" no matter how often Chef John says it never gets old.
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.
I made this last night for dinner. It was wonderful....HOW EVER... I turned my back for one second and burned the sauce. I used it anyway. My husband said, "Is this Hollandaise sauce?. I said "Yes", "It's a new recipe". I lied.
Thank you, Chef John, for once again reminding me I need to invest in some ramekins.

Initially I wasn't sold on this 'naked, no hollandaise' malarkey. However, I gave Chef the benefit of the doubt and by the time he got to the lemon-butter sauce, I was no longer unimpressed lol looks pretty good, I must say.
I like the green salad idea but I think I would do it with some baby spinach, the lemon butter sauce would go great on that as well.

Dude. Literally the only reason I don’t make Benedict more often is the effort involved. You sir, are an absolute genius. Looks like I’ve got my breakfast plans this weekend
I love Eggs Benedict, my favorite breakfast! These looked delicious.
I’m one of those weird people who doesn’t like runny or poached eggs so I am definitely doing this. My fiancé loves eggs Benedict so I will take his out a little under done and let mine cook a bit more and make us both some eggs Benedict!

Loved this recipe. I would add asparagus as a side. Maybe some olives too. A little feta cheese on top of the egg when done. So many versions of this would be good. My kind of breakfast;).

I gotta Hollandaise this. It may not be optional, but truly is mandatory!!
This is eggcellent method! My wife really likes egg benedict and I really want to make it for her, but poaching the eggs and making hollandaise is what turns me off doing it more often. This solves all those annoyances!
This’s one of my favorite dishes. But I always prefer to get it in some restaurant rather than make it at home because I found the hollandaise sauce to be difficult to make and the poaching could get messy. Now I’ll try this at home and see.

That’s so delicious Chef, I think I will make it next week along with some other chefs recipes. I just bought me a new stove and it has the four burners, but the center burners are one long one. With a griddle plate. I love this stove it has reignited my passion for cooking.
Was thinking of making your Toads in a Hole but this looks like tomorrow’s breakfast. Thank you, Chef John!
I am one of those freaks that hates a runny yolk. I'd prefer no yolks at all. But I do like a hollandaise. 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.
my favorite breakfast ever is Eggs Benedict. Years of practice (and a job) has my Holandais down pat.... so am obligated to try this twist.. The lemon butter has been my "Go to" for grilled chicken.. Never considered it for a replacement on eggs..
Gonna try Mini pie maker
The sauce he makes here is a Burre Blanc, basically. If it breaks on you a splash of half and half or heavy cream will bring it back to an emulsified state
Gonna get "lots of compliments" 😂
The 1st time I had a Hollandaise sauce was a cheap powdered egg version that I just never quite got over. This recipe changed that for me. TY Chef John
Looks awesome! Only thing to add is a slice of tomato. I want to try this with low carb bread L. Thank you!

Thanks Chef!!! Ill modify..pan fry the ham, pan fry/poach the egg in a fry pan with water coverd, and try your sauce idea but will use white wine and water to the pan first then add the butter. Love your ideas. You are an inspiration that helps me stay and eat healthier as your concepts and range of flavors are the BEST!!! Blessings...
This was good! But let's face it, it's a fancy Egg McMuffin....
There must have been some defective hams at the factory.
That looks delicious. I am definitely going to try to make this.

...oh yeah...I'm sooooo gonna do this. Thanks chef John!
On my second attempt and I'm going to replace the ham with a crab cake mixture.

Always excellent. Next time my wife and I have the same day off, I will make this for breakfast. I do have a bit of an unusual request - the other day I went grocery shopping, and I was in a hurry and made a whoopsie. We have an espresso machine with a built-in grinder, and I bought ground coffee by mistake instead of beans. Normally, I can think things through and come up with ways to use oddball stuff, but this has me stumped. Have you got any ideas?

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.
OMG! made Eggs Benedict this morning. Not exactly the baked way though but enjoyed it.
this is great
I SO need to try this! Of course, the risk may be never wanting to order ANY kind of breakfast ever again, only because eggs benedict is one of the few things I DO order because of the struggle with making the sauce. This seems so much easier!
I love Eggs Benedict but I'm not confident enought to make Hollandaise at home lol. Definity going to give this version a try !
That sauce is the bomb.
Thankyou, this looks amazing!

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