This southern eggs Benedict is now all time my favorite breakfast.  Having southern roots I do like a fluffy biscuit and a homemade sausage patty.   Oh yum yum yum!   But usually southerners (or us Texans)  serve this combo covered with a country gravy with  fried eggs on the side.

But today we put our country spin on the all time favorite brunch dish, Eggs Benedict.   We topped a biscuit with a breakfast sausage patty and a poached egg, then drizzled it with a homemade hollandaise sauce.  This country style eggs Benedict is totally a fan favorite and not sure why hollandaise sauce is not on every southern table.   Hollandaise sauce that consists of rich egg yolks and over the top amount of melted butter. with a dash of lemon juice to help the egg yolks absorb the butter.  I mean how much more Southern can that combo be?   But Hollandaise sauce originated in France and is usually paired with eggs, beef, poached fish, grilled seafood, and vegetables like asparagus, artichokes and broccoli.   The appeal of this rich sauce lies in its silken texture, buttery taste, and is both light and lively.   But today we totally adopted it for this Country Eggs Benedict.
