National Eggs Benedict Day

Celebrate National Eggs Benedict Day with a Delicious Twist!

April 16th marks a special day each year: it’s National Eggs Benedict Day! If you haven’t tried this classic breakfast dish yet, now is the perfect time to give it a try. It’s easy to make and delicious to eat, so there’s no excuse not to celebrate! Here are some ideas for how you can get creative with your Eggs Benedict recipes and turn them into something truly unique.

Add Some Spice

Eggs Benedict typically features poached eggs, ham, and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. But don’t be afraid to add some spice to your recipe by incorporating different ingredients into the mix. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed chili flakes to the hollandaise sauce for a bit of heat or top your eggs with some diced jalapenos or pico de gallo for a Mexican-inspired twist. You can also add some smoky flavor by swapping out the ham for bacon or prosciutto.

Try Different Breads

The traditional Eggs Benedict uses an English muffin as its base, but you don’t have to stick to that standard if you don’t want to. You could use croissants, biscuits, toast points, waffles, bagels – the possibilities are endless! Let your imagination run wild when choosing what type of bread you want for the foundation of your meal. Just make sure the size of the bread fits in proportion with the poached egg so everything looks nice and neat on your plate when plating up your creation.

Switch Up Your Sauce

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter than hollandaise sauce, try substituting it with salsa verde or pesto instead. Or if you’re feeling adventurous and want something truly unique, consider making an herbed mayonnaise instead! All these sauces will provide just as much flavor as hollandaise without being as heavy on calories or fat content. And if you’re really feeling ambitious, why not make all three sauces and let everyone at your table pick their favorite one?

This National Eggs Benedict Day is the perfect opportunity to get creative in the kitchen and create something unique from this classic dish! Whether you decide to switch up the breads, add interesting spices into the mix, or experiment with different sauces, there’s sure to be something delicious waiting for you at the end of it all. So let’s raise our forks (or spoons!) in celebration of National Eggs Benedict Day – cheers!
