The Quest for the Perfect Eggs Benny

I absolutely love lazy Sunday mornings; sleeping in and relaxing, before heading to a nice cafe for a late breakfast. It has almost become a ritual for Jayce and myself, and as they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Since this weekly special date has taken off, we've both become obsessed with ordering Eggs Benedict and order it 95 percent of the time. There is something about those beautifully cooked runny eggs and the creamy hollandaise sauce that I die for. I prefer the smoked salmon over the ham, whereas Jayce is the opposite.

Our obsession with Eggs Benny has become almost dangerous as our expectations for the perfect dish have meant that we are often let down. On our endeavours, I have found the bee's knee's of Benedict - a beautiful cafe on Darby Street in Cooks Hill, Newcastle called Goldbergs Coffee House.  A generous serving of two toasted sourdough muffins topped with poached eggs and drizzled with a generous amount of sweet, tangy hollandaise sauce that melts in your mouth. Grilled tomatoes are an added extra to the plate, and this dish never fails to impress, I've brought my girlfriends along and they couldn't agree more.

We decided to save money one weekend and attempt cooking the dish ourselves, which turned out delicious (image beneath). I must admit it isn't easy achieving the combination of the perfect runny yet cooked egg, although it is good fun to give it a go!
