Not knowing a whole lot about eggs benedict, I told myself that sooner or later I was going to try them. Then I ran across an idea of having them a tad bit healthier, and I was sold. Take out the carbs with the english muffin, add a tomato and piece of cheese, and you have Caprese Eggs Benedict. The most difficult part of this recipe was poaching the eggs, but with practice they will turn out beautiful. This recipe was easy to add, take away, and build it up to the taste you like. Good luck!!!
