I had typed in the exact phrase "eggs benedict," but got no  results! So I
typed in some ingredients as key words and came up with "eggs  benedict." Damn
search engine!

14 May 1904, Washington (DC) <i>Times</i>, pg. 7:
A delicious egg course or luncheon is served at the leading hotels of New
York and Boston. It is made by toasting one-half of an English muffin, placing
on top of it a very thin slice of broiled ham, and on that a poached egg,
perfectly round in shape. Serve with a Hollandaise sauce poured over. This is
called eggs benedict.
