Tomorrow is a very special day—it’s Eggs Benedict Day! This beloved breakfast meal is more versatile than you might expect. It’s a lot more than poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. If you have a look at our menu, you’ll see that we serve no fewer than six Benedicts. Each of them has a unique combination of flavors and textures. No matter your tastes, we have an eggs Benedict dish for you.
Eggs Benedict is a unique dish. Each layer contributes to the combination of flavors and textures. Here’s what goes into building this breakfast.
The Toast
Often, eggs Benedict is built upon the base of a toasted English muffin. As you might expect, that’s what we use for most of the Benedicts on our menu, but we have other options as well. For example, our Farmers Benedict starts with grilled cornbread, and our Country Benedict comes on a biscuit. While an English muffin makes an excellent eggs Benedict base, it’s not the only option.
The Egg
The main event of eggs Benedict is, of course, the eggs. Poaching an egg is a real art, but when you get it right, it’s sublime. There’s just enough give to the egg, and then the beautiful, golden yolk spills out. The textures perfectly complement the slight crunch of the toast and the creamy hollandaise sauce.
The Hollandiase
Finally, we come to the hollandaise sauce. This light, egg-based sauce has a slight tang from the dijon mustard and a little zest from the lemon juice. It adds a much-needed hit of flavor to the simplicity of what would otherwise be eggs on toast. While there’s nothing wrong with eggs on toast, eggs Benedict is famous for transcending the limits of a simple breakfast.
Breakfast at the English Muffin
The basics of eggs Benedict are an English muffin, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce, but we go beyond the basics. Each of our Benedicts has a unique combination of ingredients to give you the perfect breakfast. Whether you stick with the classic Benedict with ham, the Florentine with spinach, or the Irish with corned beef hash, you know you’re getting a perfectly cooked and delicious breakfast.
