Eggs Benedictwich

OK, let's be honest. This sandwich has no right to be claimed as "healthy" so I'll just admit that I cheated big time by eating this sandwich. It was SOOO worth it though. The sauce really makes the sandwich so don't skip it. You'll just need about a tablespoon of sauce per sandwich though so you'll probably have extra. If you want to refrigerate it, you can reheat it, add a little more lemon juice or water, and blend it again to reuse it the next day. Trust me, you'll want a repeat the next morning!
