FAQs

Zero drama here! The go-to pick is a slice of pan-seared Canadian bacon. For an even fancier twist, reach for delicate smoked salmon (which technically turns it into Eggs Royale!). Even just a few strips of ultra-crispy, top-shelf bacon will taste absolutely incredible.

Thick-cut sourdough toast, a toasted brioche bun, or even a crispy potato cake all make a phenomenal and delicious base for your Benedict.

Toast them until they’re deep golden and super crisp—that builds a strong barrier against sogginess. Also, gently pat your poached egg dry on a paper towel before plating to whisk away any extra water.
