Red Lobster's Eggs Benedict With Smoked Salmon

Submitted by lazyme

"From the Red Lobster website. It also states that you can try adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped dill, or for a kick add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce just before topping the eggs. The sauce is best prepared with a double boiler method to avoid over cooking or scorching. Suggested beverage: Champagne Mimosas with a splash of cranberry juice."
