Eggs Benedict are a restaurant staple for a reason. Almost no one can resist a soft poached egg on top of protein with the delicious lemon buttery sauce. Most people are worried about the work that goes into making this sauce at home and while you can go the traditional double boiler route this method makes a perfect sauce in a few minutes with very little stress. Even a person entering the kitchen for the first time could ace this recipe.
