Smoked Salmon & Avocado Eggs Benedict
"Found at bsugarmamadotcom, this recipe is the brainchild of Nicole & I love the way this girl thinks. Not only does the recipe feature 2 of my favorite ingredients, but then it covers them in Hollandaise sauce made exactly like my sister (Kathy) makes for me when I visit her in the US. Nicole explained how this recipe makes her want to open a Bed & Breakfast called "Good Morning" that's a combo of "modern meets contemporary meets cozy". There would be no TVs & we'll have to await the verdict on WIFI. BUT it would be intimate & feature this breakfast/brunch treat every day. It's her fantasy, but now it's my fantasy to live next door to her "Good Morning" B&B & be her best friend. ENJOY! -- NOTE: There was 1 strange thing about this recipe. The ingredients & prep indicate it serves 4. However, most of the pics showed 2 finished muffin halves on ea plate. I had to make a choice & opted to enter 4 servings as the recipe suggests & try to ignore the pics that had me drooling. You can also make that choice for yourself. :-)"
