Not bad, but not great either. I think I could find a better recipe.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my old standby.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The eggs were overcooked, and the hollandaise sauce was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've tried many eggs Benedict recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The double cheese adds an extra layer of flavor that really takes it to the next level.

My eggs Benedict turned out perfectly! The hollandaise sauce was a bit tricky to make, but it was worth it in the end. The flavors all came together beautifully.
