Prep: 10 min
Microwave: 6 min
Stand: 3 min

Here's a great idea: use your microwave to make two tricky recipes-poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce-easy, quick and foolproof! Just make sure to use butter for the sauce because margarine will not work.


   4 slices Canadian-style bacon (1/8 inch thick)
   1/4 cup hot water
   1/2 teaspoon vinegar
   2 eggs
   1 English muffin, split and toasted
   Hollandaise Sauce:
   3 tablespoons butter *
   1 tablespoon lemon juice
   1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water
   1 egg yolks


1. Prepare Hollandaise Sauce. Keep warm.
2. Place Canadian-style bacon on plate. Cover with waxed paper and microwave on High (100%) until hot, 45 to 60 seconds.
3. Divide water and vinegar between two 6-ounce custard cups. Cover tightly and microwave on High (100%) until boiling, 30 to 60 seconds. Break eggs into cups; pierce yolks
with wooden pick. Cover tightly and microwave on Medium (50%) until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes; drain.
4. Place English muffin halves on plates; top with bacon and eggs. Serve with Hollandaise Sauce.



Hollandaise Sauce:
Place butter in 1-cup measure. Microwave uncovered on High (100%) just until melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Add lemon juice and water. Beat in egg yolk with fork. Microwave uncovered on Medium (50%), stirring every 15 seconds, until thickened, 45 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes. Do not overheat or sauce will curdle. Cover and let stand 3 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it stands. Cover and refrigerate any remaining sauce.

*Do not use margarine in this recipe
