Eggs Benedict in Puerto Vallarta

Eggs Benedict consists of poached eggs placed atop toasted English muffins, accompanied by Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. The dish is finished with a rich hollandaise sauce made from emulsified egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice, creating a creamy texture that balances the savory elements. Each bite offers a combination of richness from the sauce, saltiness from the bacon or salmon, and the delicate flavor of the perfectly cooked eggs.

Origin Story

Eggs Benedict's origin is disputed. One story credits Wall Street broker Lemuel Benedict, who ordered it at NYC's Waldorf Hotel in 1894 as a hangover cure. Another attributes it to Delmonico's restaurant. Both claim 1890s New York origins.
