What is it about fall this year that seems to warrant a dribble of Hollandaise sauce on every egg? OK, that's, uh, an eggsaggeration, but I feel like Eggs Benedict or Eggs Benedict-"style" dishes have been maybe following me around, or at least popping up in more places than I can fit in this blog post. That said, I'm still going to fit a bunch, so if you're in the mood for an emulsion, read on.
Most unfortunate: Lawson's "Egg Benedict," ¥320
Let's just get this out of the way. While I appreciate the asparagus accent and the black pepper (less so the olive, but it was barely there), this 307-calorie package is not only strange, but also kind of yucky — confusing as it is convenient. Rather than nestling the egg on top of a half of an English muffin, Lawson gives you the whole muffin, which is itself sandwiching . . . cheese? Really? The sauce is (well, should be) made of butter so I don't understand how cheese would improve things.
