My 13 year old son would eat these 3 times a day, if allowed! This easy recipe came from the ABC radio website. Add spinach and turn it into Eggs Florentine!

The family loved it. To me, the hollandaise sauce tasted a little sharp, so next time I might try one of the recipes with cream that I've seen around. For the ham, I cut some medium-thickness slices off of a big chunk; I think that turned out better than lunch meat would have.

Eggs Benedict is one of my all time favorite breakfast foods! Once in a while I love making breakfast foods for dinner so I tried this recipe for eggs benedict and hollandaise sauce. One word....EXCELLENT! I adjusted the recipe for 10 servings because I had to feed 4 people and they like at least 2 each. The only changes I made was adding a little less lemon juice to the hollandaise because I don't like it over powered and I also put 2 slices of Canadian ham on each muffin because my grocery store sells it in small round slices which are pretty thin. This will definitely be made many, many more times in my house!!
