What's the difference between Eggs Benedict, Eggs Royale and Eggs Florentine?

I posted a short Eggs Royale video a couple of months ago and there was a lot of comments about it just being an Eggs Benedict with salmon - did you know it has three different names? Eggs Benedict (aka Benny) is with ham, Eggs Royale with smoked salmon and Eggs Florentine is with spinach. Today, I’m making all three and deciding which one is my favourite (with the help of babe).

Ingredients

- 250g butter, clarified
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Other ingredients

- English muffins
- Poached eggs
- Ham, smoked salmon or spinach
- Chives, smoked paprika or cracked black pepper to garnish

Method

1. To clarify your butter, all you do is put it into a pot over a medium low heat to melt it and bring it to a simmer. Skim the solids off the top and then once it has become clear, pour into another container, leaving the solids in the bottom of the pot to discard.
2. Place a medium size pot half full with water over the heat and bring to a light simmer.
3. Put the heat-proof bowl over the top of the boiling water and add the 3 egg yolks and vinegar.
4. Whisk this until the yolks double in size and go a light yellow colour.
5. Remove the bowl from the heat and slowly stream in the clarified butter, make sure the clarified butter is only lukewarm (not hot).
6. As the sauce starts to get very thick, add in a couple of drops of water to thin it out slightly, but be careful not to add too much water as you don't want to lose sauce.
7. Once the clarified butter is emulsified with the yolks, season it with salt and lemon juice to taste.
