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. I thought it would be fun to test your knowledge of the Benedict variations. I'll list the ingredients and you tell me the name. Ready, set, go!

I will confess that I've never made homemade Eggs Benedict. Well not completely, I know how to make a perfect poached egg but I usually use store bought Hollandaise Sauce (I hate to admit that!).
