Homemade English muffins make the simplest breakfast sandwich taste a thousand times better. Simply fill one with top quality ham or bacon and cheese and you’re done. Or, if you’ve got a little time on your hands and want to serve a truly special breakfast treat, assemble these spectacular sandwiches! The runny egg, maple ham, and apple come together to create an irresistible combination of creamy, salty, sweet, and crunchy, and the spoonful of hollandaise sauce truly bring the dish to a special occasion-worthy level. Don’t be scared by the idea of making Hollandaise sauce—my foolproof recipe comes together in a blender. I’m pretty sure you’ll find it dangerously easy to make!

I’m not gonna lie, this is a pretty messy sandwich–one you’re more likely to eat with a fork and knife than with your hands–but that’s how I like my breakfast sandwiches. If you prefer, you could also serve this dish Eggs Benedict-style, substituting poached eggs for the fried ones.

Runny Egg, Maple Ham, and Crispy Apple Breakfast Sandwich with Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:5 minutes
Total Time:25 minutes
Servings 4 sandwiches.

Ingredients

For the Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt do not add salt if you use salted butter
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter

For the sandwiches

  • 4 Homemade or store-bought English muffins
  • 4 eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 apple sliced thinly
  • 4 to 8 slices of maple-flavored ham see note below
  • Blender Hollandaise Sauce
  • Watercress or microgreens to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Make the Blender Hollandaise Sauce: In a blender, combine egg yolks, water, lemon juice, and salt; blend until frothy. Heat butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over medium until bubbly (do not let brown). With blender running, pour in hot butter in a very thin stream, blending until sauce is thick and emulsified. Transfer to a measuring cup and cover until service. Keep the sauce warm while you prepare the remaining components of the sandwiches. (You can heat it back up in the microwave for about 30 seconds at the low power setting before serving if needed.)
  • Cook the eggs: Lightly oil the inside of a round cookie cutter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or olive oil. Set the greased cookie cutter in the skillet, and crack open an egg inside the ring. Sprinkle the egg with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes. Delicately lift the ring to remove it from the skillet while leaving the egg in. Use a spatula to carefully flip the egg pver. Cook for just a minute so the top sets but the egg remains runny. Remove to a warm plate and reserve while you cook the remaining eggs.
  • If you don't mind a more "rustic" look, simply fry the eggs, over easy style.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Split the English muffins in halves and toast lightly. Set one half of an English muffin on a serving plate, then top with a generous spoonful of Hollandaise sauce. Add one or two slices of maple ham, then a few slices of apple. Top with a fried egg, then spoon some Hollandaise sauce over. Garnish with watercress or microgreens if desired, then close with the second English muffin half. Repeat to create all sandwiches and serve immediately.
