Eggs Benedict has long been the breakfast of celebration in my family. Every birthday, graduation, and mother’s day, the honoree is more than likely to choose eggs benedict for their special meal. Of course, the most special part of this dish is the hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise is not too difficult to make at home and can be used to dress up so many dishes. Serve it over a simple poached egg, salmon, or steamed vegetables like green beans, asparagus, or broccoli.
