Eggs Benedict is usually my go to breakfast if at a hotel or restaurant if I don’t fancy a full english, when done right they can be amazing!
The problem I find sometimes when I have egg Benedict is that too much vinegar is used so it has more of a vinegar taste than actual egg!
Many people shy away from following an egg Benedict recipe as they believe poaching an egg is to hard to do, it really doesn’t have to be.
