Mary Berry has shared her recipe for Eggs Benedict, making the classic brunch dish easier to prepare at home. The former Bake Off judge originally published the recipe in her book Classic and has since revisited it on her website.
Introducing the dish, Berry said: "A classic dish, such a treat to have when eating out, but thought to be tricky at home - it needs care but is well worthwhile, have a go!" She suggested using smoked bacon if desired.
The recipe aims to help home cooks avoid the expense of a brunch outing. Berry offered reassurance for poaching eggs: "Don't panic when first tipping an egg into the poaching water. The egg white will naturally spread out, but it comes together as it cooks, and you can tidy the edges at the end when the cooked egg is draining on kitchen paper."
