Happy National Eggs Benedict Day
Being hungover is usually excuse enough for eating eggs benedict, but here's another good one: today is National Eggs Benedict Day, so go out today (or tomorrow, or Sunday) and enjoy some hollandaise-soaked goodness. Traditional eggs benedict are a dime a dozen, but here are a few places that put a twist on the classic dish:
• At Brosia, the poached eggs come with sliced hanger steak on a toasted baguette with pancetta and the the requisite hollandaise for $19.
• Oriente serves breakfast until 1 p.m. On the menu: traditional eggs benedict (English muffin, Canadian bacon, hollandaise, etc.) with tomatoes for $11, or with smoked salmon for an extra $2.
• Prime Catch offers three different versions during Sunday brunch: the Classic for $10.95, the Neptune with crab cakes for $12.95, and the Key Largo with sherry-glazed lobster for $14.95.
• Turtle Kraals serves up a tasty variation with chorizo and chipotle hollandaise for $9.95 every day for breakfast. Or try the vegetarian version with tomato, spinach, avocado and chipotle holandaise.
