Eggs benedict feels like vacation food to me. Elsie orders eggs benny all time when we travel. The very first time I ordered it was with her while we were in Hawaii earlier this year. Here are three ways I like to serve eggs benny.Lox eggs benedict involves smoked salmon. You can usually find this near the seafood counter at your grocery store. Simply pile lox over a toasted English muffin, top with an egg and a liberal amount of hollandaise sauce! I prefer fried eggs to poached, but you can serve it however you like. You can see how I make (easy!!!) hollandaise sauce in this article. This is my personal favorite: portabello eggs benny! Cook a cup or two of hash browns until crispy. Wash and remove the stem from a portabello mushroom and saute in oil and butter until softened through. Layer hash browns with the portabello, top with an egg and hollandaise sauce. I absolutely love how the sauce soaks into the crispy hash browns. Mmmmm!Crab cakes egg benny is also super delicious and filling. I'm still tweaking a favorite crab cake recipe, currently I really like this one, except I usually divide the amount in half (as I don't need quite that many servings). Once your crab cakes are ready, place them over a toasted english muffin, topped with an egg and hollandaise sauce. I love to sprinkle on just a little more paprika just before serving.
Do you have a favorite version of eggs benedict you and your family enjoy? xo. Emma

I love eggs benny! One of my favorite breakfast places always has a different Sunday special version. I have never had a portabello benny, that I will have to try!
I love eggs benedict, but since I’m a vegetarian, I usually take off any meat that’s with it, but the second recipe is vegetarian friendly, and looks delicious! Thank you so much!
Loooooove eggs benedict! one of my favorite places in Paris serves the lox version with some sort of salad (my dictionnary calls it lamb’s lettuce, not sure it will make sense to you…) on top of the whole dish, it’s delicious
I’ve had some great crab eggs benedict in san francisco once, basically exactly like the lox version, with fresh crab meat instead of lox. Simple and amazing
Definitely trying the portobello one this weekend!
My husband and I LOVE Eggs Benny. We’ve made up a little tradition to make “Eggs Chesapeake” for his family whenever we visit them in Baltimore. His mom’s best friend brings the BEST crab soup for the annual Christmas Eve bash. On Christmas morning, before opening presents, we top English muffins with fried Taylor Pork Roll (Some weird kind of breakfast meat from his childhood. Kind of like bologna. Just go with it.) and some leftover crab soup (instead of hollandaise) and poached eggs. Delicious! I know it sounds strange, but it’s really good, I promise 🙂
Eggs benny is like a vacation food for me too for the same reason! I’ve never tried it over the portobello mushrooms but that sounds amazing and pretty healthy. I’ve had it over crab cakes and I liked that. Especially since I’m not a ham eater.
Oh wooow 🙂 My favourite posh breakfast ever. (The salmon ones are actually Eggs Royale, Eggs n Spinach are Eggs Florentine and Eggs n Ham are Eggs Benedict) – Will defo have to try the crab version! xx
We call the smoked salmon version Eggs Hemmingway. It is the best! I love the portobello idea. In Kentucky, our eggs benedict often feature country ham.
Being Swedish living in England, I love English muffins and the combo with smoked salmon is my favourite (but I also love adding prawns and dill)! Can’t have runny eggs either at the moment being pregnant and thinking about it I think I’m not allowed the smoked salmon either at the moment! I need to google it…;)Thanks for all the inspiration!
I feel the same way about eggs benedict! I order them california style (on top of english muffin, tomato and topped with sauce and avocado) at our local diner. but i have always been a little afraid to make them myself. I think I will give it a try though, seems simple enough!
I love my favorite version of SoCal eggs benny! English muffin, bacon, avocado, tomato, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce!!!! The crispy bacon with gooey egg and hollandaise and creamy avocado literally rocks my world.
I love Eggs Benny, as you call them, but what I love even more are English muffins. Do you have a recipe for them? I tried them when I was in Canada and I fell in love with them, I had one for breakfast everyday for the entire semester, and they’re not available in Chile. 🙁 Help?
My family has a traditional south german recipie, where you cook rice (or noodles) and bolognese sauce and just pour two eggs (or more, depending on how many people are eating ;)) into the boiling sauce and cook for 10 minutes. Then top the rice with emetaler cheese and bolognese-egg sauce and enjoy! A truely awesome combination. The sad name is “rice with lost eggs”, but it tastes so delicious…
SO glad you did a gluten-free version! (with hashbrowns instead of English Muffin). I have always thought that eggs benedict are something I’ll never get to enjoy anymore with Celiac. Never would have thought to use hashbrowns! So excited to try it!
I´ve never tried eggs benedict. No one ever made them for me and I think I never went to a place where I could have ordered them. I think, they aren´t much known in Germany.
Oh girls you made me hungry! But to tell the true I’ve never tasted them! I don’t think it’s that European thing, or rather eastern European thing… Oh well, should have tried some when I was overseas!!! Next time…

These so yummy! They remind me of my favorite place at Rosemary Beach- Great Southern Cafe, I had their fried green tomato eggs Benedict! with smoked gouda grits to top it off! Thanks for the sharing!!!
Oh these looks delicious! I love Eggs Benedict! I usually just get the classic but love when I get the chance to switch it up! On our honeymoon in Jamaica I ordered it with smoked salmon every morning! And more recently in Chicago, I ordered one with barbeque pulled pork (not too barbequey though)… Absolutely my favorite Eggs Benedict ever!
I’m vegan, so eggs are not a thing I eat, but I make a pretty delicious faux eggs benny with tofu and a sauce made of mostly veganaise and nutritional yeast. The secret is Kala Namak, which is a black salt you can buy in East Indian markets that has a bit of a sulfurous taste. Sounds totally gross but it gives it an egg-y flavour.
I love Eggs Benedict! It is my go-to food when I’m out for breakfast or brunch. I still haven’t come close to my favorite from an old cafe I used to work at, but it’s a slow journey! It’s all about the hollandaise!
Ahh you made me so hungry! Our favorite is Irish benedict. English muffin topped with corned beef hash, eggs and hollandaise. It’s a regular weekend breakfast for us 🙂

One of my all time breakfast faves! It’s killing me right now because I can’t eat runny poached eggs while pregnant. Will have to try soon…thanks
Yum! I’ll have to try this sometime. My fiancée is always wanting to try eggs in new styles. Thanks for sharing!
The best I have ever had was Eggs Benedict Caprese. Sounds crazy, but it was SO killer! The hollandaise combo w/ a balsamic glaze worked really well.
mmmh gnammyyyy

Last minute Halloween costume ideas? Im dying trying to figure one out and I know you and Emma are incredibly creative. Please help!
I recently discovered this, on my birthday to be exact. They are so tasty. These combinations look all incredible!
My favorite Eggs Benedict is biscuit, crab cake, fried green tomato, and poached egg topped with hollandaise.
These all look so yummy! I’m reading this blogpost in a spare class and I am getting so hungry for lunch!

I had eggs benedict for the first time when I was abroad and loved it! I don’t eat out too much while I’m home so I can’t wait to try this.
Hi Emma, should eggs Benedict not be made with poached eggs? I don’t think it’s Eggs Benedict with fried eggs like you have done?
I love the first idea with the smoked salmon eggs benedict! YUM!
http://www.cathytrails.blogspot.com
Love your ideas! 🙂
Yum – love the idea for all three! I always gravitate towards smoked salmon when I have eggs benedict and I love my eggs poached 🙂
They all look delicious!

Eggs Florentine <3
Its basically just Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and lovely steamed spinach.
Yum! There’s a little cafe in y boyfriends village which does a lovely eggs benedict poached egg with bacon on a muffin. I want one now!! X
mmm
my favourite way is when my boyfriend cooks it for me 🙂
but norm with smoked salmon and eggs or bacon and over muffin or bagel!
Barnicles!
I tend to order Eggs Benedict vegetarian style when I’m out to breakfast on vacation, too!
I love Eggs Benedict! It is my go-to food when I’m out for breakfast or brunch. I still haven’t come close to my favorite from an old cafe I used to work at, but it’s a slow journey! It’s all about the hollandaise!

I love cooked breakfast! And eggs benny are some of my favourites! What great ideas!
I’ve never tried eggs benedict but these look so good!! I’ll be sure to try it someday
The portabello version sounds devine!
I’m currently trying the eggs benny at a different cafe every week and blogging about it. It’s my favourite part of the week 😀
yumm! I love the portabello one since I’m a veggie and a traditional benedict isn’t for me. Great ideas!!

I just had Eggs Benedict @ the Royal Hawaiian for brunch a couple days ago- it was wonderful. Coming back to fall in Chicago was quit a jolt 🙂
