Cheater Eggs Benedict

from Domino Magazine
serves 6. but i like to eat 2, so really 3.

Ingredients:

  • no-stick cooking spray
  • 12 eggs
  • 12 slices Canadian bacon (or luncheon ham)
  • 6 English muffins, split
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Bennie sauce (see recipe below)
  • snipped chives, for garnish
  • silicone muffin trays
For Bennie Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (or a pinch of celery seed)
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degree. Put two 6-cup silicone muffin trays on a baking sheet, and coat well with no-stick cooking spray.
  • Crack an egg into each muffin cup. Cover each egg with a slice of Canadian bacon.
  • Butter the English muffins and place them buttered-side down on top of the Canadian bacon. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Cover the muffin pan with a platter; flip over. Squeeze each of the muffin cups to release the eggs, then carefully remove.
  • Top each egg with a spoonful of Bennie sauce. Sprinkle with chives.
  • Serve with simple watercress salad on the side.
