I loved the smoked cheddar hollandaise as well, which gave the whole thing an extra kick of spice and flavor from the extra creamy sauce. It had a subtle smokiness and the ham was quite tender. It has an English muffin topped with shaved hickory smoked ham, poached eggs and smoked cheddar hollandaise. Usually Canadian bacon is used but their hickory smoked ham was a really excellent replacement. This is the Ham Benedict III, a benedict closer to the classic version of eggs benedict. I didn’t go too crazy here but I got two different Benedicts. In fact, they encourage you to do this! Whereas other places don’t want you messin’ with their menu, Snooze will glad make your plate as customized as you want. The cool thing about Snooze is that you can really customize your breakfast by mixing and matching anything on the menu.

The apples had the skin still on but was soft enough to match with the pancake. The pancake was so soft, light and fluffy with a bit of the apple on the left. Here’s a little peek at the pancake itself.

It had a great slightly spicy crumble full of flavor that really added to the flavor of the pancake. The spiced crumble was probably my favorite part of the pancake. It is a buttermilk pancake filled with caramelized apples and topped with caramel apple glaze, whipped mascarpone and a sprinkle of spiced pie crumble. I think the word “candy” in the title would have shied me away but it actually wasn’t overly sweet. Our waitress surprised us by ordering a pancake for us right off the bat. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have ordered this pancake myself and that would have been a shame. I love that they have their own glassware with their cute symbol/logo.
Lucky for us we didn’t have to wait for a table (yay) and we were able to start right off with some delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. If you’ve ever just driven by a Snooze AM Eatery then you’ve seen the crowd hanging around outside waiting for a table.
I’m sure this place is usually completely packed. We went on the morning of the Super Bowl so while it looked crowded to us, our waitress told us it was actually “slow” for them. Their roots are in Denver and I’m glad they made the trek out West since their breakfast items are totally delicious. Snooze AM Eatery originally opened a location in Hillcrest ( which we visited!) but there’s a newer spot in Del Mar as well. Recently I was invited to come back and check out Snooze AM Eatery.
