Eggs Benedict: The Little Big Lunch

Today I made Eggs Benedict, If you are unfamiliar with Eggs Benedict, let me describe it's deliciousness to you. Eggs Benedict is a dish of poached eggs resting atop a crusty english muffin and slices of canadian bacon, and topped with a creamy, buttery, sour sauce called "Hollandaise Sauce". Now I've been to Canada and I really didn't see any canadian bacon, all I know is that is  pretty similar to ham.

 Hardest Parts:

I had to poach and egg, which is a process of carefully sliding eggs into boiling water, then chilling the eggs to keep their shape.

I had to make Hollandaise Sauce by whisking eggs over low heat and slowly adding butter and lemon juice.

Well, when it was finally all made, my dad and I sat down to eat it. It was amazing! Savory and acidic and DELICIOUS!
