Description

Crispy English muffins, Canadian bacon, perfectly poached air fryer eggs, and creamy blender hollandaise — all in one appliance, ready in 25 minutes.

Ingredients 

Eggs Benedict:

  • 2 English muffins, split
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons water, 1 tbsp per ramekin

Blender Hollandaise Sauce:

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Optional garnish:

  • Fresh chives, finely sliced
  • Smoked paprika
  • Fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Melt butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until very hot. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend 30 seconds until pale. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the hot butter in a thin stream until the sauce emulsifies and thickens. Taste for seasoning. Keep warm in the blender with the lid on.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place split English muffins (cut side up) and Canadian bacon in the basket. Air fry at 400°F for 2–3 minutes until muffins are golden and bacon is heated through. Remove and keep warm.
  • Spray four 4 oz ramekins generously with non-stick cooking spray. Add 1 tablespoon of water to each ramekin.
  • Carefully crack one egg into each prepared ramekin. Place ramekins in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 360°F for 4–5 minutes for a classic runny yolk (4 min = very runny, 5 min = slightly set, 6–7 min = fully set). Use a pot holder — ramekins are very hot.
  • Place toasted English muffin halves on plates, cut side up. Layer Canadian bacon on each half. Using a small silicone spatula, loosen the egg around the edges of the ramekin and gently slide it onto the bacon.
  • Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of warm hollandaise over each egg. Garnish with chives and a pinch of paprika. Serve immediatel

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Ramekins, any size, must be oven-safe

Notes

Tip: Every air fryer runs slightly differently. Start checking your eggs at 4 minutes on your first batch — you can always add more time, but you can't un-cook a yolk. Make the hollandaise before everything else so it's ready to pour the moment the eggs come out.
