>roommate never cooks anything more than horrible top ramen or kraft mac and cheese
>tells me he wants to start cooking, asks me if i'll help him with things if he needs any help with anything
>seems legit, he's a pretty smart guy and it's not like cooking is hard, asked me to do something pretty reasonable, made it clear he wants to do most of the work and just wants me on hand in case he need help
>pretty optimistic about the whole thing, actually
>tells me he's going to make eggs benedict
>i strongly advise him against this, let him know that it's a difficult meal to make well because it requires you do a few time-sensitive things at once, that I can help him find something better to start out with if he's interested
>insists he's going to make eggs benedict

looks like braised taro

I fucking love eggs benny with homefries/hashbrowns for hangover brunch, although hash and eggs is pretty GOAT as well

If I had to think of something that could realistically be made in the home, with everyday ingredients, and didn't require some sort of specialty cookware or lighting shit on fire:

Eggs Benedict (with homemade Hollandaise sauce)

Poaching eggs, and having to make something as deceptively temperamental as Hollandaise, will drive any man mad. Even most breakfast stops outside of some high quality locations will fuck up your eggs a good portion of the time, and probably cheat by using prepackaged Hollandaise.

supposedly invented as a hangover cute
it's my go to at the morning casino buffet so maybe they're on to something
of course I also pound mimosas

Help me /ck/, i want to make Eggs Benedict but i can't find english muffins where i live and i'm real bad at baking. What is an acceptable substitute that i can use?
