Once upon a time, when butter and eggs were considered much more unhealthy than we consider them now, eating eggs Benedict was extremely decadent. But the chickens have been laying extremely well lately in spite of the cold, so I have eggs to spare, and then some, for Hollandaise. Eggs Benedict are a heck of a lot of work, though, so that ensures that one doesn&#8217;t eat them too often.<\/p>\n<p>Making English muffins is no big deal. I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingarthurflour.com\/recipes\/english-muffins-recipe\">recipe from King Arthur flour&#8217;s web site<\/a> and baked the muffins on a griddle on the gas grill. As for the Hollandaise, for years I have used Irma Rombauer&#8217;s classic recipe from the 1943 edition of <em>Joy of Cooking<\/em>. It comes out a little thick, though, which probably means that my home-laid eggs are much bigger than the eggs Irma used. The fake bacon is from Morning Star.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/benedict-1a.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7835\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/benedict-1a.jpg\" alt=\"benedict-1a\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/benedict-1a.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/benedict-1a-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/benedict-1a-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it that I don&#8217;t get out much, or are eggs Benedict not on many restaurant menus anymore?
