A quick and easy eggs benedict recipe featuring creamy hollandaise with cream cheese, smoky smoked salmon, and crunchy everything bagel seasoning. Perfect for brunch or cozy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and warm
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • Pinch of salt and white pepper
  • 4 large eggs (fresh, for poaching)
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 6–8 ounces smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
  • About 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Fresh dill or chives (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching water)
  • Butter or olive oil (for toasting muffins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce (15 minutes): In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (not boiling), whisk together the 3 egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture thickens slightly and lightens in color — about 3 minutes. Slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter while whisking continuously to emulsify. Add the softened cream cheese a spoonful at a time, whisking until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Keep warm by placing the bowl over warm…
  2. Poach the Eggs (10 minutes): Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs and drain on a paper towel.
  3. Toast the English Muffins (5 minutes): While eggs poach, split and toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread with a little butter or olive oil if desired.
  4. Assemble the Benedict (5 minutes): Place toasted muffin halves on plates. Layer each with smoked salmon slices, then a poached egg. Spoon warm hollandaise sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each serving, adding a touch more if desired. Garnish with fresh dill or chives if using.
  5. Serve Immediately: Eggs benedict is best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

Keep butter warm but not hot to prevent hollandaise from separating. Use fresh eggs for best poaching results. If hollandaise sauce breaks, whisk in a teaspoon of cold water to bring it back together. Prepare hollandaise and toast muffins ahead for crowd serving, poach eggs last for freshness.
