I can almost hear Julie Roberts saying, “Benedict!” in Runaway Bride. I’ve been making these nearly everyday for a couple of weeks. I think you can safely call that an obsession.
I always order the traditional eggs benedict at our family’s favorite neighborhood diner The Blue Plate. Instead of hitting it up everyday for a week, I ran to the grocery store and picked up all the ingredients. I know that I personally have been scared of poaching eggs in the past. The real trick is PLENTY of vinegar in boiling water. I’ve sometimes underdone the amount of vinegar and the egg goes everywhere. Stack the toasted English muffin, a slice of Canadian bacon, a slice of tomato, and the poached egg. Finally, I drizzle some not so homemade hollandaise sauce on top (I am lazy and just buy the premade packet. Add butter and milk, and it’s finished in a couple of minutes!).
I have plenty of other obsessions but this one is at the top of the list right now.
It’s been a delicious couple of weeks! Happy eating to you too! —Carina
You know…you made me go to the store and buy eggs, english muffins, canadian bacon, and hollandaise mix…I had the tomatoes (yummy organic heirloom tomatoes from Mexico) I don’t even like runny yolk eggs…but somehow…you made me think that I MUST have this and make this for the kids tomorrow morning before school. Looks so good! Can’t wait until morning!
