Eggs Benedict is a breakfast masterpiece. The traditional take on the dish consists of two halves of an English muffin that are topped with Canadian bacon or ham, two poached eggs, and a helping of hollandaise sauce. But, some restaurants put a spin on this classic, swapping out the traditional meat for veggies, crab cakes, or even trout and amping up the sauce with pesto, tomato, or dill flavored hollandaise.
