Thanksgiving is THURSDAY and I am knee deep in planning, organizing and scheduling. Scheduling and planning when everything is going into my ONE oven for Thanksgiving dinner that is! The grocery shopping is 95% finished and the menu is set!!! Thanks to Pinterest and all of the fabulous Thanksgiving recipes that have been floating around the internet for the past two months.
Every year, we go a little crazy with Thanksgiving dinner. . I mean. . come on, it’s Thanksgiving dinner right? This is like the SuperBowl for us foodies. This year, we are serving Faith Durand’s Maple Sage Turkey. . from the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, our friends are bringing over a Chinese BBQ turkey (this will be a first for us but we hear this turkey is fabulous) and a honey baked ham! Plus all the crazy sides and other good eats and desserts!
With two turkeys this year, we’re bound to have leftover turkey and instead of making the same ole “Thanksgiving turkey casserole” that I make every year with the leftover turkey, I’ll be making this Eggs Benedict with a BLENDER Hollandaise sauce on the Saturday morning after Thanksgiving. No vigorous whisking until your hand feels like it’s about to fall off. The blender does everything for you! It’s a delicious breakfast or brunch and I’m using up leftover turkey! It’s a win win for everyone!
Eggs Benedict with a Delicious and Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce
Ingredients
For blender hollandaise sauce
- 4 large egg yolks*
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For eggs benedict
- 8 cups water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 8 eggs cracked open with whole eggs in individual cups
- 4 English muffins split and toasted
- Butter
- Fresh arugula
- Turkey or ham sliced and warmed through
- Fresh parsley or chives diced for garnish
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- For blender hollandaise sauce:
- Using your KitchenAid® Diamond Blender, puree the egg yolks together for a few seconds. Slowly pour in the melted butter, just a little at a time, and turn on the blender (puree setting) and puree for about 10 seconds. Turn off the blender and pour in a little more melted butter and puree again.

NOTE: for the Hollandaise sauce, the egg yolks remain raw so I highly highly recommend pasteurized eggs. I buy Safest Choice Eggs.

November 24, 2014 at 2:47 pmOh goodness, that is beautiful! Gorgeous photography and that looks like just the absolute perfect stack of eggs benny. I love to make them for holiday breakfasts and your blender hollandaise makes it so much easier.. yum! I’m working with one oven, too, and trying to figure out how to make all those different temps work.. yikes! Tomorrow is at least my last day of grocery shopping, and then I dive head-first into the madness..
