Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until it is browned and thoroughly cooked. Once done, set it aside.
- Place your English muffins into a toaster until they are golden brown, and then set them onto your serving plates.
- In a pot of simmering water, gently drop each egg and let them poach until the whites have set while the yolks remain runny. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- To make the Hollandaise sauce, place your egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper into a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk the mixture until it thickens.
- Gradually whisk in the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Once done, remove the sauce from the heat and season with salt.
- Assemble your Eggs Benedict by placing a cooked sausage link on each toasted muffin half. Top each with a poached egg.
- Pour your homemade Hollandaise sauce over each poached egg, and then sprinkle each with chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve your Italian Sausage Eggs Benedict immediately and enjoy this luxurious breakfast!
