Almost Eggs Benedict {Eggs Cumberbatch}

Sharing is caring!

 

First and most importantly: this is my favorite breakfast, hands down.

I’ve said before how I have a complicated relationship with eggs and I even used to think I didn’t like them.

I know now that this is just not true.

I just don’t like a lot of just eggs.

Like omelets.

I can only stand 1 or 2 bites.

There are some really delicious ones out there, but it’s just too much egg.

That is why this is the perfect egg for me; there are lots of other things involved: English muffins, Canadian bacon and cheese sauce to be precise.

That brings me to the next big thing: why Almost eggs benedict?

Well, it’s close, but this is technically not Eggs Benedict.

That breakfast involves poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.

 

 

I have actually never had a real Eggs Benedict.

Only this version.

This is the way it was introduced to me, and it is the way I love.

If I ever go to a restaurant that makes it really well, I will try the real stuff.

But my attempts at both poached eggs and hollandaise sauce did not turn into anything very appetizing.

And lastly, for the name.

That is the most recent addition.

Every time I’ve made this breakfast since being introduced to the best Sherlock Holmes ever (sorry to those other guys), my mind does an automatic Eggs Benedict…Cumberbatch.

So, when I was thinking of what to call the post for this magnificent dish, it just seemed natural.

In so many ways.

I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does.

Or as much as watching Sherlock Holmes solve a case.
