"It's not a dish that you make on a whim or when you're stressed for time; it's better reserved for slow weekend mornings or when you have reservations at a well-to-do brunch restaurant. The ingredients are pretty standard: poached eggs, creamy Hollandaise sauce, and Canadian bacon atop a toasted English muffin. But while people will get creative with their recipe by swapping out the Canadian bacon for some other elaborate protein - like smoked salmon or lobster -"
"While your mind might immediately go to a halved bagel or tasty sourdough, a better alternative to the English muffins in your eggs Benedict recipe is pierogi. These Polish dumplings can be filled with many ingredients, though a potato and onion one is arguably the most iconic. These dumplings are plush yet sturdy, flavorful yet complementary, and they will easily make this brunch favorite even more satisfying."
Eggs Benedict traditionally pairs poached eggs and creamy Hollandaise with Canadian bacon on a toasted English muffin. Many cooks vary the protein, often choosing smoked salmon or lobster, while the muffin base typically remains unchanged. Pierogi offer a Polish-inspired alternative that brings potato-and-onion flavor, a plush interior, and structural sturdiness. Pierogi can be homemade or frozen. Proper cooking matters; pan-frying or air-frying until crisp and slightly browned creates a pleasing contrast with soft eggs and sauce. Kielbasa can substitute for Canadian bacon to add an additional Polish twist.
