Let’s do brunch with this Easy Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce recipe!

Easy Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce recipe from dineanddish.net

I have always been a morning person…even as a teenager I never was one to sleep until noon, or even need my parents to wake me up for school. My internal alarm clock has always been set bright and early.

As a mom now, especially, as much as I treasure a good nights sleep, I love getting up before the rest of the family gets up for my “happy hour“. My brain is definitely the most functional in the mornings…any good ideas I’m going to have typically happen in the morning. Which, makes the rest of the day seem like kind of a wash, doesn’t it?Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise SauceEven though I love getting up early,  I’m definitely not an early morning breakfast eater. In fact, brunch is my favorite meal! I’d love to eat something delicious and substantial around 10am every day as my breakfast/lunch meal.

I made Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce the other day as my brunch meal and let me tell you…whether you eat early in the morning or later in the day, this is the kind of meal to look forward to! The Hollandaise Sauce is super easy to make, and I found out, thanks to my friend Elise from Simply Recipes, that poaching an egg is incredibly simple too… I had no idea and had avoided making Eggs Benedict for so long because I assumed poaching an egg was hard.

If you want a delicious brunch or breakfast recipe (fancy enough for even Easter Brunch if you so desire) give this simple Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce recipe a try! Enjoy!

Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce is made even better with homemade English Muffins! Try out this recipe!

    I am a morning person too Kristen! It’s one of my favorite times of day, and if eggs benedict can be involved too, I’m the happiest girl in the land!

    Interesting – have never seen a Hollandaise recipe calling for cream – I use clarified butte,r eggs, lemon juice, salt and a dash of hot sauce – it’s hub’s fave breakfast. Sometimes serve over crab cakes or spinach

  6. Elise says

    Thanks for the shout-out Kristen! I’m so glad you finally took the plunge into poaching eggs. It’s my favorite way to cook eggs in the morning. 🙂

    I am a middle of the day person, I’m not good in the mornings or late at night. I read a study that said it depended on what time of day you were born, if you were a night owl or morning person. I’m not sure if that’s true or not but I thought it was interesting. I could eat eggs Benedict every single day, so delicious!

    I love mornings too…but also evenings, which is a problem 🙂 These look perfect – one of our favourite “special treats” when I’m making something for just my husband and I!

    I can’t live without my egg poacher which has made eggs benedict or poached eggs with the ever popular avocado spread easy and a great breakfast treat for the entire family. I love early mornings too and sometimes it means I’m in a completely different mode when everyone wakes up, the I’ve completed 10 things on my to do list already mode so settling down to cook a special breakfast like this is wonderful. Your photo is just lovely!
