Eggs Benedict is a brunch classic that has graced tables since its introduction at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City in the late 19th century. A symphony of flavors and textures, this dish combines the soft poaching of an egg with the crispness of Canadian bacon, all on a toasted English muffin and coated in velvety hollandaise sauce. It is a dish with a certain elegance that speaks of relaxed weekend mornings and the joy of sharing a meal together. Whether you’re looking to impress your guests or treat yourself, mastering Eggs Benedict is a rite of passage for any brunch connoisseur.
Eggs Benedict pairs beautifully with side dishes that complement its richness without overshadowing the main event. A light, citrusy salad, such as an arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, can balance the dish’s rich flavors. For something heartier, herb potatoes or a crispy slice of hash browns are ideal as a side dish. To make your brunch even better, you can serve it with a glass of chilled prosecco or a classic mimosa.
