Clo’s Classic Eggs Benedict

Nothing says “brunch” like Eggs Benedict, and we’ve outdone ourselves with this delicious recipe favorite. We teamed up with our friends at Coleman Natural Foods to create a tasty winning combination that will be an instant hit with everyone in your family. Start by whipping up the ultimate Hollandaise sauce with just four ingredients: fresh laid Clover Organic Brown Eggs, creamy Clover Organic Unsalted Butter, rich Clover Organic Heavy Whipping Cream, and fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Then toast up your favorite English muffin halves (pictured: thick Plain Brioche Pullman English Muffins from Bay Area-based Panorama Baking Company), and top with a couple slices of Coleman Natural Uncured Canadian Bacon, and a perfectly soft-poached Clover Organic Egg. Top with generous spoonfuls of lemony-rich Hollandaise sauce, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives. Viola!

We are excited to pair Coleman Natural Foods yummy Canadian Bacon with our Clover dairy & egg products in this recipe because they are American Humane Certified (like us!), and source their pork from American family farms that raise their animals crate free, with no antibiotics or added hormones ever. Hardwood smoked over real Applewood using whole muscle pork for a natural shape, Coleman Natural Canadian Bacon is uncured, fully cooked and ready to enjoy.

We think it’s a match made in culinary heaven!

Additional inspiration: Spruce up this classic with the addition of steamed fresh spinach and you’ve got Eggs Benedict Florentine.
