Yum, that's my favorite breakfast!!
Toast an english muffin. On each half lay a slice of ham (I like black forest best for this dish!) or canadian bacon, cooked & hot. On top of that you put a soft-poached egg. Then you spoon some Hollandais sauce over the top. The easiest way to make the sauce is to buy the mix in a packet at the supermarket, but if you want to make it yourself, here's how:
Put 3 (raw) egg yolks in a bowl. Add 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and a drop or tow of tabasco sauce. Whisk it all together until it starts to turn a lighter yellow color. Slowly add in, while whisking, about 1/2 cup of hot melted butter. Don't add it too fast or it will separate from the egg yolks! There you go. Now pour that over your eggs. (To keep your sauce wram while you prepare the rest of your Benedict, place the bowl in a bigger bowl of hot water. Don't put the Hollandais directly on the heat!!)

If you want other variations for Benedict toppings, try adding asparagus spears and swiss cheese to the ham.
Or instead of ham, thinly spread the muffin with cream cheese then add a couple slices of smoked salmon.
Or instead use spinach and some grated chedder, with some crisp fried bacon...and a slice of tomato if you like!
Possibilities are endless. Try the classic first, then go crazy!
