This brilliant rendition skips the hollandaise sauce, with the runny yolks providing the velvety quality Benedict fans crave, and French toast instead of the English muffin. Tip: Slice a loaf of French bread the night before to let it dry out a bit so it soaks in the custard and fries up to add sturdy texture to this ham and cheesy breakfast sandwich.

Ain't no party like an andouille sausage party! Bring on the heat with this Louisiana-inspired creation that calls for a dash of pepper sauce. We prefer Crystal Hot Sauce for adding the right amount of fire and vinegar-y tartness to this fine dish.

This light, bright version gets a citrus-y lift from a yogurt based sauce that’s swapped for the traditional hollandaise. Take it in an extra deli-style direction by using a toasted pumpernickel bagel instead of the English muffin.
