About Eggs benedict

Eggs Benedict is a classic breakfast dish with roots in American cuisine, originally thought to have been created in New York in the late 19th century. It consists of poached eggs served atop toasted English muffin halves, traditionally layered with Canadian bacon or ham, and smothered in rich hollandaise sauce made from egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice or vinegar. While the dish offers protein from the eggs and meat, along with calcium and vitamins from the hollandaise, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, largely due to the buttery sauce and salty meat. Opting for leaner protein alternatives like smoked salmon or avocado and using a lighter variation of hollandaise can make it a more nutritious choice. Eggs Benedict remains a popular indulgence, celebrated for its creamy texture and decadent flavors, perfect for a special breakfast or brunch occasion.
