There’s nothing I love more than a posh sit-down dinner party. Delicious food, a nice glass of wine, and good conversation—what could be better?
That said, I will almost never host a dinner party. It’s not that I don’t love hosting; I do.
It’s just that I just decided long ago that I would be very strategic in my hosting skills, and stack the deck by specializing in a very specific kind of gathering—brunch.
Everybody but everybody likes some kind of breakfast food. Plus, pulling together amazing cinnamon roll pancakes is just as impressive as perfectly roasting a cut of meat, and it’s about a million times quicker and easier.
In fact, simplicity is key. Just turn up the mellow jazz, mix some mimosas, and you’re practically done.
All that’s left is coming up with the perfect main dish, and we’ve already taken care of tracking down that recipe for you!
It’s a twist on traditional eggs Benedict that’s easy, tasty, and the perfect way to get your weekend off to a classy start!
