Traditionally, an eggs Benedict is made up of a halved English muffin, topped with Canadian bacon, ham, or bacon, along with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. It’s named after a retired Wall Street broker named Lemuel Benedict, who, in a 1943 New Yorker interview, was said to walk into the Waldorf Hotel looking for a hangover cure. His order: buttered toast, poached eggs, crispy bacon, as well as some hollandaise.
Every element of the dish is critical. The muffins should be fresh, hot, and fluffy, while the smoked ham is best wafer-thin. According to some recipes, too, there could be more hollandaise than probably necessary, but it’s quite difficult to make a smaller batch since one is emulsifying the butter. It can, however, be refrigerated and used much like mayonnaise in the next couple of days.
Many recipes aren’t strict about including ham, too. One can swap it for some smoked salmon or even some portobello mushroom. Another top tip: pair this wonderful dish with some Prosecco for a nice wine-and-dine experience.
Here’s a classic recipe to try from Food Network. Eggs Benedict is always a good idea, may it be a lazy Sunday morning or a brunch date with friends.
