I grew up getting fancy a few special Sunday mornings every year and heading to our favorite brunch spots with family to celebrate birthdays or just because. And the crowning glory of every brunch and one of the things that can make me come back again and again or say &#8220;eh&#8221; and move on is the Eggs Benedict.<\/p>\n<p>And one of the reasons I have such a love and particularness for Eggs Benedict is because I also grew up having it at home, made from scratch by mommy.<\/p>\n<p>Eggs Benedict seems so complicated and fancy but the reality is, it&#8217;s not a super complicated dish to make. It requires very basic ingredients and not a lot of\u00a0fancy cooking skills. The most complicated part, the Hollandaise Sauce, isn&#8217;t even that hard if you have the patience to sit with it.<\/p>\n<p>Eggs Benedict has now become and at-home specialty of mine that I love to make for my kids, family and friends. And while smaller quantities are definitely easier to manage, I&#8217;ve successfully made Eggs Benedict for 10 people at one time. It&#8217;s really all about having the right procedure and the right equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>From Scratch Eggs Benedict Recipe:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11292\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe.png\" alt=\"Recipe for from scratch Eggs Benedict including homemade Hollandaise Sauce\" width=\"748\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe.png 748w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe-600x385.png 600w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eggs-benedict-recipe-390x250.png 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Equipment (recommended, not required):<\/h3>\n<p><em>Below are affiliate links.
