Bacon, Cheese and Scrambled Egg Sandwiches with Hollandaise

Go to Recipe

"These were a staple of my Sunday brunch when I was a line cook at the Admiral Risty restaurant in Rancho Palos Verdes, in Southern California," says Greg Lindgren, who now co-owns some of San Francisco's best bars. The decadent take on eggs Benedict includes scrambled eggs "with anything and everything," Greg says: Canadian bacon, cheese and jalapeños, all covered with hollandaise sauce.

Steak and Eggs Benedict with Red Wine Hollandaise

Classic hollandaise sauce is prepared with butter, egg yolks and lemon juice. Here, Neal Fraser adds a red wine-and-port reduction to the rich sauce, which is delicious with the juicy tenderloin steak that accompanies the poached eggs.

Eggs Benedict Salad

Go to Recipe

Instead of starting his day with traditional eggs Benedict, Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple opts for this healthier salad. To mimic hollandaise, he makes a richly flavored yogurt dressing, and he tosses that with greens, torn ham and crunchy English muffin croutons. It’s a deeply satisfying and healthy alternative to heavier brunch options.
