The classic eggs benedict is exactly as others have described: an English muffin half, topped by a slice of Canadian bacon, topped by a poached egg, and covered with Hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise is a simple sauce of butter, lemon juice, and egg yolks. The packaged mix is acceptable if you're pressed for time, but if you ever have the "real" stuff made well, you'll taste the difference. If you don't want to spend time poaching an egg, you can also cheat by simply frying the eggs until they're cooked the way you like them. If you want the "circle" to nicely top the muffin, find a large round cookie cutter and place that in a non-stick skillet, then break the egg into the cutter and fry.

Toast english muffins (actually the ones called Australian Toaster Biscuits are the best) in the toaster, keep them hot in the oven. Make hollendaise sauce (just use 2 packets of Knorr mix - it is the best) and when the sauce is done, put in the sliced Canadian bacon and let it warm in the sauce on low heat. To poach the eggs, just fill a high-rimmed saute pan with water (about 3/4 of the way full). Heat the water just until you get medium sized bubbles on the bottom. The bubbles should not break the surface. If they do, turn the heat down. Carefully crack the egg in the water and cook until the yolk skin turns opaque. Lift it out of the water with a slotted spoon. Immediately put the english muffin half on a plate, top with a slice of Canadian Bacon and then the egg. Spoon hollendaise sauce over the top. You can then put some black pepper on the top or a dash of paprika for color.

Here's my version - it's not the classic, but it's just as good if not better!
First I make the holindase sauce - I use Knorr's with real butter. If you want it really rich, use half and half or cream, of a mixture there of.I toast the english muffin and butter it. Keep them warm in the over, but not too hot or else they will get hard! Keep the sauce warm, but not too hot or else it will get too thick - if that happens, just add more milk.
Next, I fry the eggs instead of poaching - poaching is difficult and I dont like runny eggs to much. I fry the eggs be manipulate the edges so that it looks poached - Dont over cook - rubbery edges on an egg are horrible.
Ok, the muffins are done as is the sauce and eggs. WHile the pan is still hot, I add thin slicked smoked turkey! Dont cook it, just get it hot!
Now it's time to assemble the monster!
First - put down the muffin, add a slice of cheese, what ever your fav is.
Next: add the smoked turkey
Next: add the egg
Next: Pour on the holindase sauce
this is best served HOT!
So go get your fork and eatup before it gets cold!
PS... this is great served with fresh fruit!

any of those recipes will work, but if you make the sauce from scratch make sure to keep the heat low by keeping the water in the double boiler low...otherwise the yolk kinda scrambles and it gets nasty.
