Eggs Benedict—World Renowned Dish, and for a Reason!

Cooks' Note

This healthy rendition substitutes wholegrain toast for the typical English muffins, which have a considerably higher glycemic index. If you use ham instead of Canadian bacon, be sure to buy a variety that has not been sugar-cured. Homemade hollandaise sauce is the best (try one of the recipes on pages 317 and 318), but using commercial hollandaise makes this elegant breakfast very quick to prepare. For variety, you could also top the dish with warmed salsa or even drizzle with a little steak sauce, such as A.1. or Heinz.
