Indeed, the sauce preparation becomes dramatically mundane while the result remains decadent. (Then again, how can one go wrong when the main ingredient is butter?) My introduction to this method came from the Blender Hollandaise section of the biblical Joy of Cooking.

As a result, Eggs Benedict is arguably easier to prepare than an omelet and far more visually impressive when besetting sauce upon the recipient egg in front of your now salivating and somewhat-less-sleepy guests.

The Joy of Cooking suggests a pinch of cayenne but I can recommend a healthy two to three pinches. From one's garden variety of packaged cayenne, it provides an enhancement of flavour appropriate for all but the most octogenarian of palates.

So, Bubba, if you're watching, perhaps an update to the Bar 'n' Grill menu, Eggs section, might be in order.
