Let's dish up the deets on Eggs Benedict, a classic breakfast delight that's been around since the 1800s. Legend has it that the dish was born from a hangover cure concocted by a retired New York stockbroker named Lemuel Benedict. He waltzed into the Waldorf Hotel and demanded a hearty meal to cure his morning-after blues, and the chef whipped up the first-ever Eggs Benedict. The dish quickly gained popularity among the elite of New York City, and now it's a breakfast staple enjoyed all over the globe. Who says breakfast can't be indulgent and luxurious?
