Eggs Benedict originated in the United States in the late 19th century. The story goes that Lemuel Benedict, a regular at the Waldorf Hotel in New York, asked for a hearty breakfast of toast, poached eggs, grilled bacon and hollandaise sauce. That's how Eggs Benedict were born... although the recipe has evolved slightly over time!
A slice of grilled bacon is placed on a toasted English muffin base, followed by poached eggs with the yolk still runny. The whole thing is topped with a creamy, lightly lemony hollandaise sauce . Of course, there are many variations: with smoked salmon instead of bacon, they're called eggs Royale, while with spinach, they're called eggs Florentine.
Similarly, some restaurants offer more daring recipes with avocado and mushrooms for a vegetarian alternative. In any case, eggs Benedicthave become a staple of weekend brunches in the French capital, appealing to brunchers young and old alike.
