How to serve Eggs benedict

Storing leftovers
We recommend refrigerating your leftovers in an airtight container for no more than two days. Eggs Benedict is a dish best eaten fresh/straight away, so any longer than 1 or 2 days wouldn’t work very well.
You can freeze your leftover Hollandaise sauce for up to a month in an airtight/freezer-safe container! Be sure to carefully and completely thaw your sauce prior to reheating.
No paprika? No problem!
Yep! Paprika, as well as it does work in this recipe, is not a dealbreaker! You can play with your own spices and find one that suits your needs/taste, or you can simply leave it out and add it to your shopping list for next time!
