Today is National Eggs Benedict day.  What the heck are eggs benedict?

Of course yours truly investigated and found that eggs benedict is nothing more than Poached eggs (you read that story before) placed atop an english muffin and then covered with hollandaise sauce.  It really sounds pretty good right now, since I have not had breakfast.

But there is more to it than that.  There is also a thinly sliced piece of ham or two involved and you can put the ham under or on top of the eggs.  I would prefer it under my eggs.

Some people even put some sort of sweet candy on top of all of it….yuk!

To make the hollandaise sauce you need some white wine and of course cooking with wine is always a favorite of mine.  One cup for the recipe please!

So, there you have your menu planned for the entire day.  Three meals of eggs, ham, english muffins and wine, I mean hollandaise sauce.

Enjoy!
