Creative Commons image credit, below. Eggs Benedict. We love those fluffy poached eggs, partially smothered in a rich but healthy hollandaise sauce, with some Canadian bacon underneath. (Of course, gluten free types have checked the package to affirm that the Canadian bacon is gluten free!) But then . . . . If you eat gluten free, unless the restaurant or your local store carries gluten free English muffins (they must exist, though I've never seen any), what's an eggs Benedictine to do?
I encountered this easily-solved quandary today. It took just a quick request to the chef to prepare the eggs without the muffin; and, voila, I enjoyed the delight immensely, and the spicy potatoes served alongside helped make up for the lack of crunchy -- yet soft -- English muffin as a foundation.
Also, do check that the hollandaise sauce is made with the traditional ingredients: eggs, butter, lemon juice, and a little salt!
