SOUTH STREAM TIPS​

All of you know the Classic Egg Benedict. You can also add wilted baby spinach on the Muffin. Be careful when you prepare the Hollandaise. Make sure the mix is not too hot and whisk gently until it becomes a rich, creamy sauce. You can also add herbs to the Hollandaise if you like.
