Every weekend, my wife and I visit a local diner for breakfast. It's a tradition we love to begin the weekend, by enjoying some great food and conversation with staff.

If you asked me what my favorite breakfast food is, I would say Eggs Benedict. While I love all kinds of breakfast food, I can't get enough of my favorite, and fortunately for me, many local diners and restaurants have this delicious item on their breakfast menu.

But, I have learned that not all Eggs Benedict creations are the same. Some serve it up on a biscuit rather than a toasted English muffin. Others may use bacon strips rather than Canadian bacon, or have a different texture/flavor to the hollandaise sauce. I've enjoyed a different take locally that included a bit of spinach added to the mix.

My favorite is a toasted english muffin, a slice of Canadian bacon, poached egg, and smothered in hollandaise sauce. Add a side of hash browns or home fries, and my day is off to a perfect start.

For a different take on their traditional Eggs Benedict, check out 12 variations listed on the website - All Recipes. Some look pretty good, others, not so much in my opinion.
