There’s something undeniably elegant about Eggs Benedict. It’s the kind of dish that feels like a celebration—perfect for weekend brunches, special occasions, or just when you want to treat yourself to something a little extra. But this version? It takes things to a whole new level.
The magic lies in the sauce: a Blender Ponzu Hollandaise made with Marukan Sudachi Ponzu. This ingredient transforms a classic hollandaise into something unexpectedly vibrant. The sudachi citrus brings a bright, tangy lift that cuts through the richness of the egg yolks and butter, while the ponzu’s subtle umami depth ties everything together in the most delightful way. It’s a sauce that wakes up your palate—and your morning. And it is so fast and easy to make in a blender!
And here’s the bonus: if you’ve got any of that yummy Ponzu Hollandaise left over, don’t let it go to waste! It’s amazing spooned over freshly steamed vegetables like asparagus or broccoli. The citrusy zing and velvety texture turn simple veggies into side dishes worth savoring.
So next time you’re craving a brunch that’s a bit out of the ordinary, try this twist on Eggs Benedict. With smoky salmon, perfectly poached eggs, and that unforgettable hollandaise, it’s a dish that will leave everyone impressed—and maybe even asking for seconds.
