Yes. Eggs are awesome. I throw a fried egg on top of about half my meals, and scrambled or poached egg on toast is great. Eggs Benedict may be my favourite dish ever.

    Eggs Benedict is the best! When I try a new breakfast place it's the dish I get in order to judge the new spot.

    I actually have a silly breakfast blog. I'm trying to have breakfast in all 351 towns & cities in my state. I'm at 137. However, there are plenty of small towns that do not have a breakfast place. So, I won't reach 351.

    Im not sure if it's because I'm from Europe and it being not so popular here or because I'm a cretin but I don't get poached eggs. Why would you take extra steps to prevent the egg from dissolving in the water when you can simply cook it inside it's shell?

    Soft-boiled eggs are just a bit too firmly 'egg shaped' to make a good benedict.

    Poached eggs are flatter and the white is softer.

    Also, to easily prevent the egg white from coming apart when you drop the egg in, just add a dash of vinegar to the boiling water. It causes the white to stick together.

    So it's mostly about the shape so that you can put the egg on toast? That I can understand but I think I prefer fried egg on my toast 😬
