Steps:
- to 400 degrees F, ensuring the oven racks are positioned in the top & bottom third of the oven. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up & set aside.
- Arrange the bacon on one prepared baking sheet & set aside. Place asparagus on a second prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, & toss to coat. Place bacon & asparagus in the oven to bake & roast for 25-30 minutes, until the asparagus is tender with crispy edges & the bacon is crisp. Remove from the oven & set aside.
- Increase heat to 450 degrees F. Brush the remaining 2-3 tablespoons olive oil over the surface of the English muffins. Transfer to the oven to toast for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown & crisp around the edges. Remove from the oven & set aside.
- Add the water & vinegar to a large pot or saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into 8 individual ramekins or small bowls. For prettier poached eggs with fewer wispy whites, crack the eggs into a fine mesh sieve & swirl to strain off the looser, liquidy whites. Set aside. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water & a handful of ice cubes. Set aside.
- Gently swirl the water into a gentle vortex (note - the water does not need to vigorously swirl, but it does need to have just a little bit of movement) and slide an egg into the center of the vortex. Cook 2-3 minutes, gently stirring occasionally to keep the water moving, until the white is set & the yolk is soft. Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the egg to the prepared water bath. Repeat with the remaining eggs. You can poach 2-3 eggs at a time, but take things as slow as you need to ensure the eggs hold their shape & cook properly.
- Carefully transfer the cooled poached eggs to an airtight container & submerge in water. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, gently lower eggs into hot water from the tap. Set aside for 1-2 minutes, until warmed through. Serve immediately.
- Add butter to a liquid measuring cup. Microwave for 60-90 seconds, until melted & very warm. Set aside.
- Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt & desired seasonings to a small food processor or blender. Blend about 30 seconds. The mixture should be very well incorporated & pale yellow in color. With the blender/food processor running, very slowly stream in the hot, melted butter until the hollandaise sauce is creamy, emulsified, & has reached your desired consistency. For a thicker hollandaise, use 6-8 tablespoons butter. For a thinner hollandaise, use 8-10 tablespoons butter.
- Transfer hollandaise to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, transfer hollandaise to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring well between increments, until the sauce is warm.
- Top each toasted English muffin with toppings of choice (crispy bacon, roasted asparagus, thinly sliced prosciutto, smoked salmon, etc.). Place a poached egg on top. Finish with a spoonful of hollandaise sauce & garnish as desired with cracked pepper, fresh herbs, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

EGGS BENEDICT BRUNCH BRAID
I make this ahead and serve it for Christmas morning breakfast. It has the ingredients of a classic eggs Benedict, encased in puff pastry to create a beautiful loaf. You can refrigerate the assembled braid overnight, or freeze it for up to two weeks. If you prepare it ahead of time, wrap it tightly so the pastry doesn't dry out, and brush strudel with egg wash just before baking. Add 20 minutes to baking time if strudel is frozen. -Sarah Strohl, Commerce Township, Michigan

MAKE-AHEAD EGGS BENEDICT TOAST CUPS
When I was growing up, we had a family tradition of having eggs Benedict with champagne and orange juice for our Christmas breakfast. But now that I'm cooking, a fussy breakfast isn't my style. I wanted to come up with a dish I could make ahead that would mimic the flavors of traditional eggs Benedict and would also freeze well. Friends, all I can say is, this one fits the bill! -Lyndsay Wells, Ladysmith, British Columbia
