Eggs Benedict Stacks

Ingredients:

6 large eggs, divided
2/3 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 English muffins, cut in half
Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce (see below)
8 slices Canadian bacon

Directions:

In a pie pan, whisk together 2 eggs, milk and salt with a fork. Soak English muffin halves for 1-2 minutes on each side. Heat a small frying pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cover and cook soaked muffin halves one at a time for about 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Place cooked muffin halves on a plate and set aside. Cook the remaining eggs individually as desired. To assemble stacks, toast 2 muffin halves in toaster for 1 minute, or until lightly crisp. Place 1 muffin half on a plate and then spread with a tablespoon of Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce. Place 2 slices Canadian bacon over the sauce. Place a cooked egg on top and then drizzle generously with more sauce. Lay remaining muffin half on top and serve. Makes 4 servings.
