My fiancé makes the most amazing eggs benedict, that I (and most of our friends and family) have ever laid eyes on. There are no shortcuts with this one, just lots of homemade love. But how could you complain when the outcome is this good?! Even Finn (our little cat) wants a taste. Mind you, that was as close as she got. I thought it would be mean to show you such delicious photos without the recipe, so read on to give it a whirl. Enjoy x
