Why settle for one brunch favorite, when you can up the flavor ante with three? That’s the culinary thinking behind The Trifecta, a combination plate that showcases a trio of eggs Benedict variations on housemade buttermilk biscuits and is considered the signature dish of brunch concept Ruby Slipper. “Each offers a unique culinary journey that captures the essence of Southern comfort,” says Marla Chua, culinary operations partner at Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group.
The first Benny of The Trifecta is the Bayou Shrimp, which sees sautéed Gulf shrimp and pork tasso paired with a Creole tomato sauce, poached egg and fried green tomato. The second, Eggs Cochon, features slow-cooked, apple-braised pork topped with the classic poached egg and hollandaise. Finally, the Chicken St. Charles stars a crispy fried chicken breast with a poached egg but swaps the hollandaise for a signature tasso-cream sauce. “The Trifecta exemplifies the true essence of Ruby Slipper, where each bite tells a story of the brand’s passion for brunch, Southern flair and soulful creativity,” says Chua.
