As an egg lover, I always want a new and innovative to eat eggs. One such delicious dish is the Eggs Benedict. It is a complete assembled meal with English muffins, poached eggs, Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce. It is a complete breakfast and is hearty and delicious.
Eggs Benedict is a very common breakfast and brunch dish in America. It is said to be invented in a New York restaurant named Delmonico’s in the 1860s. The dish is said to be named after Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Benedict, who were customers at the restaurant. Although, the true origin of the dish is still a mystery.
To make Eggs Benedict, blend egg yolk, melted butter, water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to make the hollandaise sauce. To make poached eggs, fill a pot with enough water and place it on heat. Add vinegar and salt and stir clockwise. Add eggs and let rest. Take them out. Cook bacon and toast the muffins. Assemble all the ingredients.
