Egg benedict is an english breakfast dish that consist of english muffin topped with cooked bacon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce.
I tried to keep the plating as simple and beautiful as possible. So I played with primary colors to make the presentation simple and beautiful. I used cherry tomatoes for red colour, hollandaise sauce for yellow and asparagus and chives for green colour.
