A plate of BLAT Eggs Benedict is the wake-up call you won’t want to miss. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado and ripe tomato are layered on a toasted English muffin with a perfectly poached egg. A bright lemon hollandaise finishes the dish, creating a breakfast-forward twist on a classic sandwich that livens every bite.

I’m not what you’d call an early-morning breakfast fanatic. I enjoy breakfast foods, but I rarely feel like tackling something heavy before 9 a.m.
On weekday mornings I prefer something quick and light, but when the weekend arrives I’m all in for a leisurely meal: brunch.
Brunch is the perfect compromise — complex breakfast dishes get the time they deserve, while lunch favorites are fair game if that’s what you crave. Add mimosas or bloody marys and it becomes a mini celebration, plus it’s served at an hour when I actually want to dive into a big plate of food.
This BLAT Eggs Benedict has become a new brunch obsession for me. It takes the familiar bacon-lettuce-avocado-tomato combo and elevates it with a poached egg and hollandaise, transforming a classic sandwich into a luxurious weekend meal.
The foundation is a toasted English muffin, layered with crisp bacon, crunchy lettuce, creamy avocado and juicy tomato. Add a perfectly poached egg and the yolk spills over the filling, adding richness that binds the textures together.
Textures play a starring role here: crunchy bacon and toasted muffin, soft avocado and tender egg, crisp lettuce and juicy tomato. The lemon hollandaise brings a tangy, creamy brightness that cuts through the richness and wakes up your palate.
This version of eggs benedict is both indulgent and approachable — familiar flavors arranged in a way that makes brunch feel special. It’s the kind of dish that can take over your Sunday morning in the best way.
Happy brunching!

This Recipe’s Must Haves
- Poaching eggs in an Instant Pot produces consistent results with minimal effort. When done in greased cups, the eggs come out perfectly poached in just a few minutes.
- Silicone egg poaching cups are ideal for this method — grease them with butter, ghee, or cooking spray and the eggs lift out easily with a clean shape.
- A compact convection countertop oven is handy for toasting English muffins and finishing small items evenly and quickly.
- If you prefer a traditional method for hollandaise, a double boiler or saucepan set designed for gentle heat makes tempering and sauce-making much more reliable.
