When I die, bury me with a pot of hollandaise. When we think of brunch, it is unavoidable that a beautiful, shining, heaven-like picture of eggs Benedict appears in our minds.  It’s the dish of our dreams.  And the only thing we love more than classic, traditional eggs Benedict is hybrid eggs Benedict.  From crab […]
