Eggs Benedict with bacon is a refined blend of classic English breakfast and exquisite French cuisine. Legend has it that this recipe originated in late 19th century New York when a diner requested something unusual for breakfast. The dish captivates with the tenderness of poached eggs, rich flavor of bacon, and freshness of spinach, complemented by velvety hollandaise sauce. A milk-soaked and leavened bun adds softness and richness. The composition is finished with pink pepper, watercress, and drops of olive oil that enhance the flavor. It's the perfect dish for a leisurely breakfast or brunch, offering moments of gastronomic delight and morning coziness.
