Along the Seine Eggs Benedict | $9.99
My first trip to Fran’s Classic Diner, the menu selection was impressive. And being an egg lover, I quickly gravitated to their “Egg-cellent Entrees” section which is basically various egg benedict options. Everything in this section is served on a toasted English muffin, 2 poached eggs, mozzarella cheese Hollandaise sauce and a dash of paprika along with homefries and fresh fruit.
I ordered Along the Seine which is topped with your choice of baby spinach & ham or feta cheese & tomato lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegar. They actually made a mistake and gave me both options. Good mistake in my opinion. The balsamic vinegar really made the dish along with the cheese. In fact, it may have masked the ham in the dish which didn’t seem very flavorful or outstanding. The muffin was toasted well. The eggs however were slightly overdone in that it wasn’t very runny. The homefries were perfectly crispy on the outside with enough potato on the inside for a solid bite. The fruit was a nice capper.
With such a big menu, I definitely plan to try Fran’s again. Not the best benedict I’ve had, but I don’t put too much weight on only one try or visit. They are on the pricey side but the portions are pretty big to provide a decent value.
