REVIEW: Egg Rings for Breakfast Sandwiches

If you want to prepare your eggs as they do in a fancy restaurant (or emulate an Egg McMuffin), you can use Egg Rings to give your eggs that round, tall appearance. These egg rings have handles that are tall enough to keep even a klutz like me from dipping the back of my knuckles in to the egg as I handle it.

The Set of 4 Egg Rings for Breakfast Sandwiches can also be used as a round cutter for other cooking projects.

DEFINITION: Eggs Benedict

Interesting...

A breakfast or brunch specialty consisting of two toasted English muffin halves, each topped with a slice of ham or Canadian bacon, a poached egg and a dollop of HOLLANDAISE SAUCE. The most popular legend of the dish's origin says that it originated at Manhattan's famous Delmonico's Restaurant when regular patrons, Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Benedict, complained that there was nothing new on the lunch menu. Delmonico's maitre d' and Mrs. Benedict began discussing possibilities and eggs Benedict was the result.
