Because no one is happy with that result, we’re gonna go ahead and leave this poll open for another week, in the hopes of declaring a true winner. (That’s Cheese ‘N Things in the top left corner and Dinner with Julie next to it. For the full recipes, check out the original post.)

I haven't been there in a while because it's such a schlep, but I may have to make another brunch trip. The hollandaise alone is worth it...

It was pretty darn tasty - and a great veggie option! I worked at a restaurant once that served their EB with avocado, tomato, and fried onions. It was pretty darn tasty - and a great veggie option!

If it's soft and soggy even before the yolk breaks, it just tears when you try to cut through it. Jamie's recipe reminds me in some really good ways of Eggs Florentine (like Benedict, but swap the ham for spinach), and the fact that she keeps meat in the mix with the prosciutto definitely puts it over the top. Julie's crabcake base is interesting. I've seen Eggs Chesapeake on a few local brunch menus (with lump crab meat replacing the Canadian bacon), but I don't think I've ever seen the crab take the place of the muffin.
