Who does not like eggs benedict? Let's be honest perfectly poached eggs dressed up with hollandaise sauce all atop Canadian bacon and a buttery English muffin. It is the perfect combination of everything wonderful. It is an indulgent meal, something we cannot eat all of the time but we want to. We want to sink that fork into the egg and see the yolk pour out all over the plate. We want that yummy, creamy, salty bite of delight. But how can I make this not so over the top fattening while maintaining the integrity of the eggs benedict...Simple! Make a few adjustments, leave off the hollandaise - WHAT no hollandaise - how can that be. Well when you top it with horseradish mustard you will not even realize the hollandaise is not there believe me. It truly is a new take on a very classic dish...Enjoy!
