When it comes to brunch, there’s one dish that simply sweeps everyone off their feet: Eggs Benedict. It’s a true comfort food, combining the creaminess of hollandaise sauce with the perfect yolks of poached eggs and the flavor of an English muffin. Plus, toppings like goat cheese, salmon, or pulled beef add excitement to this otherwise boring dish.

EGGS BENEDICT IS CLEARLY THE UNCROWNED KING OF BRUNCH AND CAN NOW BE FOUND IN ALMOST EVERY BREAKFAST PLACE IN BUDAPEST, MOST PLACES OFFER IT WITH A UNIQUE TWIST.
