Start by Cutting It in Half

まずは豪快に半分に

Spinach and bacon sit atop a muffin, crowned with a poached egg full of soft yolk. It’s hard to know where to begin with your knife, right? But the trick is to keep it simple. Start by boldly cutting the muffin and poached egg right down the middle.

Don’t hesitate in the face of that rich, flowing yolk. Calmly block the yolk with your knife as you cut, allowing it to coat the muffin and toppings without making a mess on your plate. No need to rush!

Cut into Bite-Sized Pieces

Once you’ve halved it, continue cutting it into bite-sized pieces. It’s easier if you press down with your fork while slicing with your knife.

Enjoy It with the Yolk

When eating, use your fork to pick up the muffin, spinach and bacon, and poached egg all together. That’s the key to fully enjoying the harmony of flavors.

皿の上をきれいにしながら食べ進める

And now—dig in! …But wait! Before taking a bite, slide your muffin across the plate to soak up the runny yolk and hollandaise sauce. This is one of the real joys of eating eggs Benedict—keeping the plate tidy as you go.

Dip the Potatoes in the Yolk Too

When eating the side potatoes, don’t forget to dip them in the yolk and sauce on the plate as well. That way, nothing goes to waste and your plate stays looking clean. By the way, both the eggs Benedict and potatoes are well-seasoned, so you won’t need to add any extra condiments—it’s satisfying just as it is!

What did you think of this eggs Benedict eating guide? The key takeaway: dip everything in that rich yolk! Give it a try and savor the deliciousness.
