Eggs Benedict is a classic breakfast dish with toasted English muffins topped with poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and creamy hollandaise sauce. It’s a luxurious breakfast dish that is not easy to make at home. Most cruise ships also serve Salmon Eggs Benedict. 

It’s best to order eggs benedict in the main dining room because they will come out more fresh. While if you get it from the buffet, the hollandaise sauce will have coagulated if it’s been sitting on the hot plate for too long. 

Waffles
