BLT Eggs Benny #BrunchWeek

Candied Bacon, Spicy Arugula, Acidic Tomato, Savory Egg, and Bright Hollondaise for an explosion of flavors and textures in each bite.

It's time for Brunch Week 2025.......

Christy of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited us to join her on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to celebrate that lovely meal served mid-morning to early afternoon, Brunch.

I love Bruch, not just the food but the entire vibe.  Brunch is laid-back, easy-going, and relaxed.  A time when there is nowhere else to go and nothing to do but spend time with special people, grazing on delicious food and sipping Mimosas and Bloody Marys.  

I am sharing this delicious take on the classic Eggs Benedict.  Let's see what the others are sharing today......
