Difficulty: Level 3 (you can do it)
Hands On Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes
Eggs benedict is one of my most favorite breakfasts (or lunches, or dinners) ever. Mostly because of the hollandaise sauce. Which is 90% butter, 5% egg, 3% lemon juice and 1% mustard. Really, all I care about is the 90% butter. Because butter makes the world go round.
