How to Make Brie Eggs Benedict for When You’re Feeling Culinary

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Haverford chapter.

Eggs Benedict might be the bougiest of egg meals. It also is arguably the best way to eat your eggs (let me know if you want to talk about it because I can probably convince you). I’ve seen a lot of variation from avocado eggs benny to crab cakes benedict.

There might be no wrong answers to eggs benedict variations (disclaimer: this is probably not true), but I’ve come to share my own twist that I will most likely make until I die. In fact, if you’ve been in my life long enough, I’ve probably made you eat these before. If not, maybe you should ask me to have breakfast sometime.

    Bring the water to a boil. Add the vinegar and reduce to a simmer.

    Crack the eggs into a ramekin and pour into the water as close as possible without burning yourself. Some people like to swirl the egg after they place it in the water. Do you.

    Toast your English muffins to your desired level while your eggs are poaching.

    Spread your brie on the toasted bread, add a slice of prosciutto.

    When your eggs are perfectly poached, this should take about 5-6 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon or mesh skimmer and place on top of the prosciutto.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. I prefer to immediately cut the egg open: ideal yolk porn.

Haverford '17

I'm currently a junior English major, psychology minor at Haverford and I play field hockey there. Due to my heightened activity level as an athlete, I'm perpetually hungry and would say that food is one of my great passions. I also really love to write, so writing about food is about as good as it gets.
