Spring has been peeking her little sunny head up at us this week in my neck of the woods. :) I thought she was never going to get here after Mother Nature dumped about a foot of snow on us last week. For the past two days, we have been greeted with sunshine and warmer temperatures, and the snow has all but melted away now. These fresh breezes and sunshiny days are making me excited for Easter and spring. And when I think of Easter and spring, I always think of laid back weekend brunches at home with good food, wonderful company, and bright, fresh flavors. 

One dish that always reminds of me of a spring brunch is a sophisticated Eggs Benedict. But let's be honest- making a fancy-dancy Eggs Benedict brunch requires some time and a little culinary skill.  From perfectly poaching the eggs to whisking together a creamy hollandaise sauce, it is definitely a brunch recipe that can be a little intimidating. 

I love a nice spring weekend brunch, but I also don't want to be stuck in the kitchen for long making it. With this in mind, I headed to my local Walmart with a challenge- to create an easy to make Eggs Benedict recipe that would be just as delicious as the real deal...
