Eggs Benedict is a classic breakfast or brunch dish consisting of two halves of an English muffin or toast. Each side topped with a slice of ham, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. The dish is usually served with roasted potatoes or fresh fruit.
The dish became a popular breakfast dish very quickly and variations have emerged over time. You can replace the ham with smoked salmon or spinach as well.
It may seem a bit complicated to create a poached egg, but if you follow the steps and you use really fresh eggs, it’s super easy.
Finally, we finish the sandwich with homemade hollandaise sauce.
