Eggs Benedict

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, have you made plans yet?  Don’t be one of those people who waits until the last minute!  Traditionally, people choose brunch for this special day.  If you’d like to try something different, make reservations at a nice restaurant for Saturday evening instead of Sunday day.  By doing this, you can avoid the crowds, and even start a new tradition.  In addition to having a meal out with your family, buy your Mother some nice roses and candy; she did raise you after all!

I really enjoy brunch and breakfast foods.  One of my favorite items to make is Eggs Benedict.  If you’re not familar with this dish is consists of poached eggs, Canadian bacon, an English muffin, and most importantly, hollandaise sauce.  Hollandaise sauce is an egg-butter emulsion with a hint of lemon and cayenne pepper.  If you haven’t had it before, its time to give it a try.

Here is an excellent recipe- remember, this is a complicated sauce, and may take a few attempts, but the end result is worth it!

Happy Cooking!
