We have come to a pandemic lockdown again. I think, until there is a good solution that involves more than just vaccines, we will probably have to get used to be locked down once in a while.
You can order almost anything, but not everything. One of them is eggs benedict. You can’t really get delivery order of eggs benedict. They won’t be nicely delivered.

So the good news is that it is extremely easy to make. Well, at least this recipe that I created. It is fail-proof, delicious and really fast.
The bread is also home made in 2 hours. Well, lock down is still not very fun, but it certainly makes us a little more adventurous with our cooking.
