Absolutely delicious and quite easy to prepare. The secret for success is perfect timing, the order in which to prepare the ingredients so everything is ready at the same time.
My eggs benedict recipe walks you step by step. The only thing you have to plan ahead is have the easiest Hollandaise sauce ready to drizzle over the eggs Benedict before serving. I even teach you how to keep the sauce warm until it’s time to serve. Enjoy!
