Elevate your Eggs Benny with Hollandaze Sauce

Nothing beats indulging in an Instagram worthy Eggs Benedict on a lazy Sunday unless it is packing a Pakalolo punch and Cypris Hill sings their 1993 song, puff all night long taking hits from the bong.

Eggs Benedict is an American breakfast classically made with both halves of an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.

The origin story of this boujee brunch is made up of tales ranging from an indecisive diner to an ill-faced gentleman looking to nurse his hangover. The one detail that seems to correspond amongst the so-called inventor’s accounts was that the menu item originated from The Big Apple. New Yorkers were also responsible for introducing the world to potato chips in 1853 and the Club sandwich in 1894, we love NY!

Hollandaise is an emulsion made of egg yolks, butter, lemon juice and seasoning. It is classified as one of five ‘mother’ sauces in French Haute cuisine, which forms the base for sauces used in classic dishes like Filet Mignon with Bearnaise sauce.
