Happy National Eggs Benedict Day!

Today is National Eggs Benedict day.

Today is National Eggs Benedict day. Since eggs Benedict is my favorite brunch dish of all time, I couldn't let the holiday pass without putting together a quiz. The classic bennie is a layered masterpiece consisting of an English muffin, ham, poached egg, and a velvety hollandaise sauce. The Benedict is so wildly popular that it's inspired many spinoffs.
