I don't think so.

Anybody have a delicious little variation on the tried and tested?
God, they are so good.

One brillant man once asked, "You can't even eat eggs for breakfast?"
I replied, " Oh, for breakfast I can eat them, it's the other two meals I have to leave them alone." 😞

Well, that's not the name, but I've never seen them out of my place. It's basically to boil eggs and remove them a couple of minutes before going hard, so the yellow is runny.

Then I remove the shelf, place them in a cup, squeeze half a lemon and add some salt. T ...[text shortened]... , and place a spoon of the egg concoction on the part of the bread you'll bite.

Yummy! 😵
Sounds less complicated to prepare eggs benedict, for 20. Such an international man of mystery.

A poached egg and hollandaise sauce atop a crabcake is the best!

I had to look up Eggs Benedict, I had never heard about it. It doesn't look familiar either, and I have no idea if there's a German (or Norwegian for that matter) word* for it, or for something similar (we don't even have English muffins, so to do the exact same thing would be difficult). It doesn't look like something ...[text shortened]... rötchen mit Schinken und einer Art Sauce hollandaise". So no German word for it, I guess!
Weird. I went to look at the bottle and it says Tabasco. Dunno why in my mind it was always spelled Tobasco...

Anyway Noodles, try it sometime if you ever eat breakfast where they serve it. Most hotels should, so next time you're on vacation, give it a try.
You won't be disappointed!

Sounds good, although I would have to make my own crabcakes, as I've never seen them around here...

Eggs Bennie for many people isn't that complicated. Although I've only done it for 9 people, not 20...

Toast all the muffins, get the ham warmed up, even in the microwave on low will do. Make your sauce all the while poaching the eggs.

The secret here is to cook your eggs for 4 minutes or however you like them done - then take them out and put them into ice water. This stops them cooking further.
Then, when you're ready, just quickly put all the eggs into very warm water for about 30 secs to warm them up again.

Very fattening as well.

When I'm feeling like poached eggs, I just have them on buttered whole-grain toast. If not overcooked (hard yolks), it's excellent. I don't even miss the ham and the hollandaise.


I heard a story somewhere that the "Egg McMuffin" was created as a cheap and easy fast-food substitute for Eggs Benedict. Ugh.

No, we don´t have a German word for it.
I think not many Germans are eating eggs benedict style. Most of the time, they think my american style food is ugly, but I love it.
Like Sloopy Joe´s, pancakes and a lot of sirup, Beef Jerkey, stuff from Arbys and so on...

Most of them are eating Sauce Hollandaise only with asparagus.

Heaven knows Mexico will invade the US over a dispute regarding the copyright of Tabasco sauce.

Oh wait, we're already invading it! 😛
