Caprese Eggs Benedict

Q: What Is The Best Season To Make Eggs Benedict Recipe?

You can enjoy this Eggs Benedict recipe all year round. However, I love adding summer pink or red tomatoes when they are in season as they add so much juice and sweetness to the dish.

Q: Where Can I Buy The Required Ingredients to make the Caprese Eggs Benedict?

I recommend buying all ingredients at your local farmer’s market or a specialty grocery store. Pay attention to the eggs as they need to be fresh and, of course, organic eggs are the best. With that said, you will be able to also find most of the needed ingredients at your local grocery store.

Q: Which Drinks Pair Well With Caprese Eggs Benedict?

This recipe goes really well with a cup of coffee – it’s breakfast time! But if you are not a coffee fan, you can also make a big glass of Matcha Mango Pineapple Smoothie or very unsual Banana Charcoal Smoothie.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

There are a few important things to keep in mind when making the Caprese Eggs Benedict:

Always, always use fresh eggs. 🙂 If the eggs are not fresh, the whites and yolks will separate from each other.
Tomatoes. Choose ripe and flavorful pink or red tomatoes because they add so much flavor and juice to the dish.
Mozzarella cheese. Slicing mozzarella balls into halves will give you the perfect space for placing the eggs without breaking them.
Always make your own Hollandaise sauce – its texture is creamy and velvety. Nothing compares with homemade.

3 Done 10 min	Prepare poached eggs Fill in a big pot with about 1 pin of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice into the hot water. This will help to shape the eggs later. Reduce the temperature to low heat and break the eggs into the casserole. Let them shape the form for 3-4 minutes. Once ready, use a slotted spoon to take the eggs out an d place them on a board. Tip: To check if the eggs are done, touch them with your finger – the white needs to be set and the yolk should be soft. Be careful with the hot casserole and the water in it.
4 Done 3 min	Cut buns, tomato and cheese Cut 2 buns equally and place them on two serving plates. Cut 2 mozzarella cheeses into halves. And place them on a bread. Slice tomato into thin slices and place them on a bun, then place a piece of mozarella cheese.
5 Done 2 min	Assemble cheese and tomato Place a slice of ripe tomato on top of the bun and then the the mozzarella cheese layer.
6 Done 3 min	Assemble egg and sauce Carefully place a poached egg on top of each cheese slice. Drizzle the warm Hollandaise sauce generously over each poached egg. Decorate the eggs with arugula.
7 Done	Serve Your Caprese Eggs Benedict are ready. Enjoy!
