Eggs Benedict is a breakfast or brunch specialty consisting of two toasted English muffin halves, each topped with a slice of ham or Canadian bacon, a poached egg and a dollop of hollandaise. The most popular legend of the dish’s origin says that it originated at Manhattan’s famous Delmonico’s Restaurant when regular patrons, Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Benedict, complained that there was nothing new on the lunch menu. The maître d’ and Mrs. Benedict began discussing the possibilities and Eggs Benedict was the result. This could be suspect as there are a few rumors on how the dish was originated but let’s be glad it’s on most of the breakfast/brunch menus around town!
