Do you know, the origin of Eggs Benedict ...
Eggs Benedict has been on American menus for almost one hundred years. There are several stories about the origins of eggs Benedict – all surrounding late-nineteenth-century New York.
It is a very popular brunch and breakfast item. The word first appeared in print in 1893.
During the late 1880s, financier Le Grand Benedick complained to the chef of New York’s Delmonico restaurant that the restaurant breakfast menu was stale. The chef, Charles Ranhofer, claimed that he was then inspired to create what he called ‘Egg a la Benedick’ and there is a recipe for it in his book The Epicurean (1894).
A second claim to the dishes origin comes from stockbroker, Lemuel Benedict, who wandered into the Waldorf Restaurant Astoria Hotel in New York, suffering from a debilitating, carousal induced hangover in 1894. He claims to have ordered dry toast topped with bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise to cure his hangover. The chef, Oscar Tschirky, actually substituted English muffins and Canadian bacon and truffles and came up with eggs Benedict in honour of the hung-over stockbroker.
Mary Lincoln in the 1896 edition of her book Mrs. Lincoln’s Boston Cook Book includes a recipe for ‘Dropped or Poached Eggs on Toast’. She cuts the toast with a round cutter and suggests making a thin cream sauce to pour around them.
Around 1970, Jack in the Box began serving an Eggs Benedict sandwich.
In 1971 Herb Peterson a McDonald’s operator in Santa Barbara, California modified the Eggs Benedict sandwich and ended up with the Egg McMuffin!

deliriously delicious looking...did I spell that right?? 😀
...I like my eggs over easy, thanks!
Would you believe I never actually knew what eggs Benedict were until I was on a cruise?
That looks so incredibly good - but I have never ever had luck with getting my avocados right.
I've just sent this on to a friend of mine who is on the Keto Diet.
They look good..nice change..
I might have to give this a try.
It looks so good but Hollandaise sauce just never agreed with my taste buds.
I never thought of serving eggs that way, but it sounds fabulous.
looks good, interesting combination.
Never met one I didn't like:) Thanks, Jan!
Oh I love this take on Egg Benedict. I can eat avocados every day, and they're so yummy here (with the right degree of ripeness). I think I will try this (even though I am not a low-carb believer).
A delicious looking take on Eggs Benedict, a favourite of mine!
We'll have to try this - my hubby loves Eggs Benedict!
Love those smiling egg faces. I used to gather eggs from grandmother's hen house. Eggs and avocado,,,sounds good!
It looks very tempting. I love eggs any which way.
Interesting read about the eggs - had no idea where they came from but then never thought about it.
Uma combinação muito interessante.
Um abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

I guess egg benedict is a poached egg with some sauce on top. Have you tried egg Victor? A poached egg with peanut butter on top.
God bless.

That was an egg-cellent post. I have always been the deviled egg maker at the holidays but this Thanksgiving I added some chopped jalapeno in them.....YUM.
Trust McDonald's to mess everything up.
I still have never had avocado.
Yes, this is for me!!! Yummy!
That looks good. I've made mayo that way.
