If you’re a pickle lover, get ready — this Dill Pickle Eggs Benny might just be your new obsession. We took everything you love about classic Eggs Benedict and gave it a tangy, briny twist that hits so right.
Instead of the usual lemony hollandaise, we swap the lemon juice for pickle brine (trust me on this one — it’s magic). We even poach the eggs in a little bit of pickle brine and water for an extra layer of flavor. Then we pile it all onto toasted English muffins slathered with creamy dill pickle dip, top it with crispy peameal bacon, a couple of Berry & Brine Garlic Dill Pickle Spears, and those perfectly poached eggs.
It’s everything you love about brunch — creamy, salty, rich — but with this bright, punchy dill pickle vibe running through the whole thing. Basically, if you like pickles even a little bit, you’re gonna lose your mind over this Dill Pickle Eggs Benny. Let’s get into it!

Go for sturdy, classic English muffins — not the super soft ones — so they hold up under all the toppings without getting soggy.Dill Pickle Dip
Use our creamy, tangy dill pickle dip (or make your own!) that’s thick enough to spread easily without running off the muffin. This will really elevate your Dill Pickle Eggs Benny!Berry & Brine Garlic Dill Pickle Spears
Our pickles bring all the flavor! Crisp, garlicky, and tangy, they add the perfect punch to every bite.Peameal Bacon
Thick, juicy slices of peameal bacon give that salty, tender balance to all the richness. You can sub regular bacon if you need to.Pickle Brine
Use the brine from your Berry & Brine pickle jar! It adds that signature tang to both the poached eggs and the hollandaise.Poached Eggs
Use fresh eggs for poaching — they hold their shape better and give you that dreamy runny yolk.Egg Yolks
For the hollandaise — use the freshest yolks you can for the creamiest, silkiest sauce.Butter
Good quality unsalted butter gives you control over the saltiness of your hollandaise sauce.Dried Dill
A sprinkle of dried dill at the end ties all the flavors together. You could use fresh too if you have it!Salt & Pepper
Keep it simple — you just need a little to season the sauce and finish off your plate.

Products used in Dill Pickle Eggs Benny
Can I use pickle brine in hollandaise without breaking the sauce?
Yes — and it works beautifully. Just add the Berry & Brine Dill Pickle Brine slowly while blending the hollandaise. The acidity brightens the sauce without breaking it. You can use an immersion blender instead of a whisk for a super smooth texture.
What’s the best way to poach multiple eggs for a group?
Poach eggs in advance and transfer them to an ice bath. When ready to serve, reheat in hot (not boiling) water for about a minute. This lets you serve a full batch of Dill Pickle Eggs Benny without juggling timing.
Can I prep everything ahead for a brunch crowd?
Absolutely. The pickle hollandaise can be made and refrigerated a day ahead — just reheat gently. Bacon and muffins can be prepped in advance too. With eggs ready to rewarm, all that’s left is assembling your Dill Pickle Eggs Benny just before serving.
