Dismantling one egg at a time is my ideal way to navigate brunch, and it brought me straight to Morning After in Brisbane for a thoughtful take on a cafe staple.

Rethinking the Classic Benedict
Instead of traditional ham or bacon, Morning After anchors this Benedict with rich pork belly resting over spinach.
Pairing soft poached eggs with savoury pork belly gives the dish a far more satisfying foundation than a standard morning order.
Texture and Crunch
A scattering of pancetta crumbs across the top introduces a brilliant crunch to every bite.
That crispness balances the soft yolk and tender meat, keeping the entire plate texturally interesting from start to finish.
Sauce Control on the Side
Serving the hollandaise in a separate small vessel on the side puts complete control over richness back in your hands.
Pouring the sauce at your own pace keeps the pancetta crumbs crisp and lets you enjoy the dish egg by egg without drowning the pork belly.
