Hmm... I don't know. I made this because my husband loves eggs benedict, and I can't say this wowed us. I thought it was a little weird, to be honest. The flavor was ok - I liked the asparagus in there, but it wasn't something to write home about.

Made the recipe as stated however I added Tarragon which I think is a key ingredient to Eggs Benedict. Also used english muffins in place of biscuits. Put the sauce in a crock pot and people helped themselves. Served over 40 for brunch. Wonderful dish!
