Make the Sauce
Warm the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and mustard over very low heat until smooth and creamy.

This Easy Eggs Benedict brings together crisp English muffins, warm Canadian bacon, soft poached eggs, and Betty’s simple lemon-mustard sauce. It keeps the comfort and richness of the brunch classic while avoiding the fuss of traditional hollandaise, making it especially fitting for weekends and holiday mornings.

I usually toast the muffins a little extra because they soften quickly once the sauce goes on. If I’m serving several people at once, I cook the eggs just a little firmer so everything is easier to plate quickly.

Toast the muffin halves until crisp and golden, then warm the Canadian bacon until lightly browned.

Cook the eggs in quiet simmering water until the whites are set and the yolks stay soft.

Layer the bacon and eggs on the muffins, spoon over the warm sauce, garnish if desired, and serve immediately.
