Benedict

Benedict recipes have been around for centuries and there are many different variations of the dish. The most common version of the dish is made with eggs, ham, and cheese, but there are also versions that include vegetables, seafood, and even fruits.

The dish is named after Saint Benedict of Nursia, who is the patron saint of Benedictine monks. It is said that Saint Benedict created the dish as a way to use up leftover bread and eggs.

The first written record of a Benedict recipe dates back to the 9th century, but it is likely that the dish was created long before that. Benedict recipes began to appear in cookbooks in the 18th century, and the dish has been popular ever since.

Advice

When making Eggs Benedict, be sure to pay attention to the details. Start with a good quality English muffin and top it with a perfectly poached egg. Make sure your hollandaise sauce is thick and creamy and that you don't boil it. Lastly, don't forget to season your sauce with a bit of lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a flavorful finish. If you keep these details in mind, you'll have a delicious Eggs Benedict in no time!
