Eggs Benedict With Cheese Sauce created by FrenchBunny

Another calendar recipe I've torn and forgotten about until Zaar inspired me to dig 'em all out and post like a madman. This recipe attracted me 'cause the sauce isn't made with a hundred eggs, cheese and milk instead. Not a true Hollandaise sauce but sounds yummy all the same.

I so prefer this sauce over hollandaise sauce. Just the right amount of cheese flavour and light tasting. I just cooked my egg about 1 minute too much, but I ate it anyways. Wasn't going to waste it and start over. I could only eat one of these never two so the pic of my plate looks a little lonely. I will be sticking to this sauce from now on. Thanks for the post of this delicious recipe LuckyMomof3

Loved these! Eggs Benedict is a favourite of mine but sometimes I find the Hollandaise a little rich first up in the morning and this was just perfect.
