Mmmm, eggs benedict is probably my favorite breakfast food.
The classic version takes an english muffin, two slices of ham or canadian bacon, then two soft poached eggs (soft so that the yolk runs out & mixes with the sauce when you cut in to it!) topped with Hollandais sauce.
There are other versions of eggs benedict, where you replace the ham with different toppings, like spinach or asaragus & swiss cheese, or smoked salmon. If you want more details and a step by step EASY way to prepare this dish (including the hollandais sauce!) then just go check my answer to a couple previous benedict questions.
Either way, DEFINITELY go try this!

Hey Mark,
The simplest answer is Chefzilla. Quite well said! Everyone in their haste either forgot:
"Poached", "English Muffin", or "Canadian Bacon" Without these, you don't have Egg's Benedict!

eggs benedict is a poached egg on top of an english muffin and canadian bacon covered with hollandaisse sauce
Thanks James....I tried to keep it as simple as I could.
It really has to be shown to you to learn how to make it.
The hollandaisse is kind of a tricky delicate procedure..alot easier if you have an instructor than trying to learn yourself from a recipe.

Poached egggs on top of a slice of canadian bacon placed on a english muffin and covered with hollandaise sauce. I don't really care for them (think it's the sauce) but alot of people do.
