Here are chefs Wylie Dufresne, Gordon Ramsay and Emmanuel Stroobant to show you how to go from zero to hero when it comes to nailing this brunch-time favourite. If they all seem a stretch to far check out the ChefSteps video at the bottom with failsafe instruction.
Best Eggs Benedict
Wylie Dufresne, of now-shuttered WD-50, shows how to make the perfect eggs benedict, including top tip - "when cooking eggs don't let anything get too hot."
Put a scientific spin on your eggs benedict under the guidance of pioneering British chef, Heston Blumenthal with the unusual addition of beurre noisette in the hollandaise and strict temperature control.
Emmanuel Stroobant's recipe comes with a few twists, including replacing the muffin base with toasted brioche and a good drizzle of balsamic vinegar!
