Eggs Benedict in Kingsland: four ways to make it your own
A poached-egg brunch can be familiar and still feel personal. At Little Q, the choice of topping lets you take Eggs Benedict in a different direction each time.
Eggs Benedict has earned its place on an all-day café menu for a reason. It is comforting without being complicated: poached eggs, something to carry them, and a silky hollandaise that brings the plate together. The small decisions around it are where a regular brunch becomes your brunch.
Start with the Benedict essentials
Little Q’s current menu serves poached eggs with baby spinach and homemade lemon hollandaise. Choose brioche, or opt for gluten-free homemade hash. Both give the eggs and sauce a proper base, with the choice depending on whether you are in the mood for something soft and buttery or a heartier bite.
Choose the topping that suits your day
There are four topping options on the menu: streaky bacon, brandy cured salmon, mushroom and avocado, or slow-roasted pork belly. Bacon keeps things classic and savoury. Salmon brings a richer, more delicate note, while mushroom and avocado make a vegetable-led option for those after a lighter-feeling plate. Pork belly is the pick when brunch calls for something more indulgent.
The point is not to find one “right” Benedict. It is to order for the kind of catch-up you are having, the weather outside or simply what sounds good with your coffee.
A good option for a mixed table
One of the pleasures of meeting at a café is that everyone can follow a different appetite. Eggs Benedict sits happily beside a sweeter brunch, a salad or a smoothie, making it an easy choice when the table has not agreed on one mood.
