Weekends were only made for a few things: sleeping in, nursing hangovers and chomping down eggs. Almost nothing is more blissful than a plate of delicately poached eggs, on a perfectly toasted piece of bread, bathed in luxuriously creamy hollandaise sauce. Add a Bloody Mary to the mix and what you have right there is just short of brunch nirvana.
