Eggs Benedict

Ingredients
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup whole milk
1 (.9-ounce) packet hollandaise sauce mix
4 tablespoons butter
4 crumpets
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices Canadian bacon
4 eggs
4 tablespoons sliced black olives (optional)

Steps
1. Fill medium saucepan 3/4 full of water. Add vinegar, cover and bring to boil on high heat.
2. Place milk and hollandaise sauce mix in microwave-safe bowl and whisk until smooth.
3. Add butter and microwave on high 5-6 minutes, or until sauce thickens, stirring twice.
4. Toast crumpets until lightly browned. Place on serving plates.
5. Add Tabasco, lemon juice, salt and pepper to hollandaise. Whisk until blended. Cover and set aside.
6. Place Canadian bacon on microwave-safe plate (may be paper). Microwave on high 25 seconds and place on top of crumpets.
7. Break 1 egg at a time into 1-cup measuring cup. Slowly pour into bowling water. (Repeat until all eggs are in boiling water) Boil 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs. Note: For firmer eggs, cook additional 1-2 minutes.
8. Using slotted spoon, remove eggs from water, allowing excess water to drip off. Place on top of bacon.
9. Pour hollandaise sauce over eggs. Garnish with black olives, if using. Serve.
