How To Make Eggs Benedict

Variations of the classic are easy. Cooking is about making it your own. Try changing up the traditional English muffin to a Southern buttermilk biscuit, hash brown potatoes or a crusty crescent. How about using bacon, pulled pork, salmon or chorizo sausage instead of Canadian bacon? You can even fry or hard boil the eggs. For me, Hollandaise is a staple but if you're adventurous, a honey lime sauce, herb and garlic Hollandaise sauce, or avocado Hollandaise would raise the bar.
