Let's Get Started

- Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water) and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Gradually add the melted butter, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Add the cayenne pepper and adjust the seasoning as needed. Keep the sauce warm.
- To assemble the eggs Benedict, place the toasted English muffins on serving plates and top each one with a generous amount of lobster meat.
- Place a poached egg on top of the lobster and spoon over some of the hollandaise sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper if desired.
