18 Creative Eggs Benedict Recipes to Up Your Brunch Game

May 15, 2016

Sunday mornings are for rolling out of bed after a nice sleep-in, ready to take on the day and make one of your famous homemade brunches. There are plenty of pancake recipes you could choose from, but eggs Benedict is your trusty go-to. After years of the same dish, you (and your guests) may be ready to spice things up a bit. Since you already put an egg on top of everything, incorporating some new and exciting Bennies into your brunch routine is the way to go. Grab a steamy latte and cozy up to your laptop, because the following 18 creative Benedicts will change your brunch game forever.

1. Huevos Rancheros Benedict With Cholula Hollandaise: Who needs an English muffin when you have a bed of pulled pork to rest your eggs on? This Mexican-inspired Benedict is great for those who like to go low carb and high spice. (via Whole Fork)

2. Cotija Guacamole and Chorizo Eggs Benedict With Honey Chipotle Lime Sauce: If guacamole and chorizo don’t win you over, a creamy, sweet and spicy honey chipotle sauce has to. Serve these on a toasted whole-wheat or pumpernickel bagel to round out the meal. (via Half Baked Harvest)

3. Crab Eggs Benedict: Imagine waking up on vacation at a seaside resort and ordering room service… this is what you would get. Buttery lump crab makes this Bennie so delectable, it should be reserved for the most special of occasions. (via What Should I Make For…)

4. Eggs Benedict Burger: If you want to see some legit #EggPorn, take a big bite out of this eggs Benedict burger. Just prepare yourself for all the oozing yolk dripping down your chin. (via Just Putzing Around the Kitchen)

5. Eggs Benedict Cumberbatch: Sometimes, simplicity is the key to reviving your stale brunch routine. Slices of pre-cooked polenta are toasted in butter, then topped with crispy Canadian bacon and an over-easy egg. Top with arugula and shaved Parmesan and you have a minimal meal worth raving about. (via My Name Is Yeh)

6. Cajun Eggs Benedict: When you mix New Orleans jambalaya with eggs Benedict, you get this down-home Cajun masterpiece. The only thing missing is a plate of hot beignets for dessert. (via Goodie Godmother)

7. Eggs Benedict Bake: When serving brunch for a crowd, Benedicts may not seem like your best bet, but that’s all about to change. This casserole will serve six people with ease, and it means you don’t have to poach 12 eggs. (via Port and Fin)

8. Greek Eggs Benedict: Eggs Benedict is known for being rich. By layering sautéed spinach and artichoke hearts on traditional Greek bread, the dish is lightened up a bit without sacrificing the classic hollandaise. (via Figs and Feta)

9. Grilled Pineapple Caprese Eggs Benedict With Coconut Almond Hollandaise: This Benedict just *screams* summer. Between that grilled pineapple, fresh basil and tropical hollandaise, we’re going to need all the warm weather… stat. (via Half Baked Harvest)

10. Korean Eggs Benedict: Spam is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of ingredient. Here, it’s paired with tangy kimchi for a fun Korean take on traditional eggs Benedict. If you haven’t tried Spam before, this would be the perfect opportunity. (via KimchiChick)

11. Reuben Eggs Benedict: At first glance, this may seem more Reuben than Benedict, given the rye bread, thinly sliced corned beef and sauerkraut. But on top of that is an expertly poached egg and a drool-worthy Thousand Island hollandaise sauce that make this dish a brunchtime must. (via Macheesmo)

12. Eggs Benedict on Roasted Brown Mushrooms: Roasted portobello mushrooms are the perfect size to serve as a base for your Benedict if you want to skip the English muffin. Layer with prosciutto and spinach for an earthy brunch offering that’s fancy AF. (via Drizzle and Dip)

13. Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict With Dill Waffles: It can be hard to choose between waffles, lox and eggs Benedict, so why have just one? This mashup of the three will satisfy all of your cravings and then some. (via Striped Spatula)

14. Tex-Mex Eggs Benedict: Perhaps you’re making breakfast in bed for a special someone and you want a dish that really speaks to their stomach. This Benedict with biscuits, steak and avocado is just the dish for that. Oh, and btw… that’s not hollandaise on top. It’s queso. (via Dash of Texas)

15. Steaks Benedict: Steak and eggs get a hollandaise-topped makeover with these steaks Benedict. This dish is an absolute treat for the true carnivore who lives for their meat at every meal. (via Kelly’s Ambitious Kitchen)

16. Tostones Eggs Benedict With Mango Salsa and Avocado Hollandaise: This Latin-inspired breakfast is piled high with different flavors and textures. Beneath the sliced ham and egg hides a layer of crispy fried plantains. Sweet mango salsa is generously scattered on top, and it’s finished with a creamy avocado hollandaise. (via Get Inspired Everyday)

17. Tempeh Benedict With Vegan Hollandaise Sauce: Everyone knows that the hollandaise is the main event of a Benedict. This vegan version is made with silken tofu, almond milk and vegan butter to give it the same mouthfeel of hollandaise. Pour it over smoky tempeh and blanched asparagus and dig in! (via Connoisseurus Veg)

18. Sweet and Savory Waffles Benedict Stacks: There’s something so nice about making an entire meal from scratch, down to the blackberry jam smeared between layers of homemade waffles. These stacks would be lovely at a brunch-themed shower or even an afternoon backyard party. (via The Movement Menu)

Rethink what you know about collard greens and shakshuka because this is one brunch meal you'll love cooking. You'll need ingredients like cayenne pepper, ground nutmeg, collard greens, and garlic cloves to help create this flavorful dish that takes less than 30 minutes to cook.

Julie's Jazz

Butternut Squash Waffles With Cashew Butter

We're going to squash this right here and right now: Butternut squash is just as good for breakfast as it is for dinner. Just look at the ooey gooeyness.

Baker by Nature

Morning Glory Muffins

Wake up on the right side of the bed with these scrumptious muffins. If you've never tasted these before, think about how tasty a spiced apple cake mixed with a carrot cake would be baked in one muffin. Yeah, it's that good.

Kitchen Confidante

Savory Nothings

Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast

Creamy pumpkin is sandwiched between crispy bread coated in pecans and drizzled in maple syrup. You'll taste a satisfying, warm, and sweet crunch in between each bite.

SOS Gabriel Might Not Be In 'Emily In Paris' Season 5: "Not Fun Anymore"

Emily in Paris season 4 was the buzziest season yet, and for good reason. Emily's in Rome, Camille was never pregnant, and Gabriel's hair went from très hot to tragique. In addition to the viral response to Gabriel's new hair, season 4 left me pretty sad because after four years of waiting for Emily and Gabriel to get together, they almost immediately break up — and actor Lucas Bravo is just as confused as we are.

Carole Bethuel/Netflix

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Lucas Bravo told IndieWire while promoting Mélanie Laurent’s Freedom. “As they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”

Honestly it makes me really sad that a character we all love so much is becoming unrecognizable. But at the same time, it makes me feel a little bit better, because we're not the only ones who feel like Gabriel has changed. And while Lucas has done what he can to bring those early-series aspects of Gabriel back, he says "there is only so much I can do in the limits of a script.”

Netflix

“I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set," he continues. “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5…because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”

Say what now?! If Lucas Bravo leaves Emily in Paris, I truly don't know what I'd do. Gabriel is my favorite character on the show! (Or at least, early Gabriel was.) Seeing him move from 30, flirty, and thriving to someone who's consistently in the middle of an existential crisis doesn't make sense within the world of the show. And even though Lucas thinks the show has a "lack of risk," he still loves everyone involved.

“I love the show. It started everything for me. I love the show and the people in it," he says. "With saying that, I feel like I am not being nice or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be…you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking. But we’ll see where it goes. The show is not over.”

Just like the show's iconic costumes are all about expression and fun, here's hoping Emily in Paris is able to bring some life back into our favorite chef. Because if not, it sounds like we could be nearing the end of the show's most popular would-they-won't-they relationship. Fix this Netflix, I beg you!

What do you think of Lucas Bravo's dilemma? Do you miss season 1 Gabriel? Let us know in the comments and check out the latest Emily in Paris season 5 news.

See Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie Reunite In The 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' Teaser Trailer

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie created reality TV gold when The Simple Life debuted in 2003. Their antics were outlandish, but we couldn't help repeating their iconic phrases like "That's hot" or "Sanasa" during random moments in our own lives.

It's no secret the two didn't really act that way, but their 'characters' left a huge mark on a generation of millennials. "I knew what I was doing but the whole world didn’t, so it was kind of frustrating to me to be perceived in that way because it’s not who I am at all," Paris told People.

Even though she may have felt judged, it seems that Paris Hilton realizes how many people actually loved The Simple Life because she and Nicole Richie are teaming up to film a reunion special that'll debut on Peacock as we speak! Here's everything we know so far!

When did speculations about 'The Simple Life' reboot begin?

NBCUniversal Media

Peacock first shared a video clip on Instagram that hinted something special involving Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is coming in May. A nostalgic TV set with a black and white screen can be seen while our favorite duo's voices can be hearing saying, "Sanasa, Sanasa."

Peacock captioned the post, "New Era. Same Besties. Coming soon to Peacock," and fans could barely contain their excitement. Even celebs like Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry commented on these hot vibes.

Bravo

Then Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram to share more about what fans could expect. She said, "As some of you may know, we are doing a reunion special to celebrate 20 years of our show The Simple Life and it's been so much fun."

Actress Selma Blair shared how much she's looking forward to this by commenting that she's "living for this."

So are we!

What was 'The Simple Life' about?

The Simple Life/20th Century Fox

The Simple Life showed Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they basically traded their wealthy lifestyles for 'everyday' living. Cameras followed them from fast food jobs to dealing with getting out of sticky situations they'd supposedly never experienced. Needless to say, it was hilarious, iconic, and instant reality TV gold.

How long was 'The Simple Life' on air?

Peter Kramer/Getty Images

The Simple Life was on air from 2003 to 2007 with five successful seasons. It seemed like it wasn't going to be hit at first, but it defied expectations. By how much you ask?

According to reporting from The Cut, somewhere around 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's oddball take on daily life. That's a pretty huge deal if you ask us!

When will 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' debut?

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Paris & Nicole: The Encore will premiere on Peacock December 12! The two were previously seen at a Sonic drive-thru yesterday so it can be assumed filming is underway (via People)!

Sporting partial Sonic uniforms, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie added accent pieces that match their signature flairs. Paris wore a pair of reflective sunglasses, silver sequin heels, and added a pink flip phone to front of her blue apron. Nicole wore gold hoops and a pair of slingback pumps alongside her hotdog mascot costume. That's hot (dog).

How does Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie feel about reuniting for a reunion special?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Paris Hilton has expressed how much she loves to be sharing the screen with Nicole Richie again. "I'm so excited to be doing this with Nicole on Peacock. Nicole has been my best friend since we're 2 years old, every memory that I have is with her," (via E! News).

Nicole also posted a few throwback moments from The Simple Life on her Instagram, but the most notable one is the video mashup of them singing "Sanasa, Sanasa" over and over. "20 years ago, not only did we become television stars… we became song writers. Happy Anniversary Sill @parishilton #TheSimpleLife#sannnasaaaaa" she wrote in the caption.

What have Paris and Nicole said about their reunion special?

Peacock

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie sat down with W Magazine to let the world know the Paris & Nicole: The Encore show is on its way! Not only that, but fans can expect to see an Opera version of the show they fell in love with two decades ago. Paris said, "The idea of the opera was unexpected" while Nicole chimed in with, "What people need, even though they don't know it yet, is for 'Sanasa' to be an opera.'"

The two besties came up with the idea via a series of texts that started off as ideas between them. Nicole said everything "came up organically" for the two and we can only imagine the memories this brought up for them. OG influencer Paris even talked about how The Simple Life was an "important show in pop culture history" and we couldn't agree more!

Nicole truly wants people to enjoy themselves while watching Paris & Nicole: The Encore and "find the same joy" she had while filming it. According to Paris, she feels what they have is "magic" because "there's just so much history behind it."

It's not every day that you can get to have fun with your best friend while coming up with long-lasting memories that contribute to pop culture, but Paris and Nicole have always danced to the beat of their own drums. Now we'll get to see them in action again!
