As with many iconic dishes, conflict exists relating to the origins of Eggs Benedict.
Numerous stories suggest that the dish was first made in New York City sometime in the late 1800s. One claims that a hungover retired stock broker named Lemuel Benedict asked for toast, poached eggs, bacon and a dish of hollandaise at the Waldorf Hotel. The dish became popular, was named after him and then slightly tweaked into the form we know it in today. Yet another story has the toothsome dish created at the famous New York Delmonico’s Steakhouse.
Two of the delicious ingredients of the traditional dish, Canadian bacon and Hollandaise sauce, are a little mysterious. Canadian bacon (the food, not the comedy movie starring Alan Alda) is really just cured meat made from ham instead of pork belly. Interestingly, in Canada it is called ‘back bacon’.
Hollandaise sauce is a buttery, opaque sauce that is beautiful soft yellow color. It is an emulsion of egg yolks and melted butter which is delicately seasoned with lemon juice, salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper.
Many chefs have taken the basic combination of bread, poached eggs, a protein and Hollandaise sauce and developed tasty variations. Our talented chefs at the Emerald Island Grille have their own unique twists on the original too!
At the Emerald Island Grille, Eggs Benedict has long been one of our guests’ brunch favorites. Three of the most popular are the traditional Eggs Benedict, our Crab Benedict and the tender and flavorful Filet Mignon Eggs Benedict.
