Healthy Eggs Benedict ( Yes, it's possible)
Sooo… Eggs Benedict have been one of my favorite breakfast options ever since I can remember.
I enjoy them sooo much, but I was limited to only eating them on “special occasions” because of all the fat content that they have, specially the hollandaise sauce. So, guess what? After days of trial and error we finally got to the perfect + healthy eggs benedict! You won’t believe how great they taste.
Recipe
Ingredients:
Healthy Hollandaise sauce:
1 egg yolk
3-4 tbsp sugar free + nonfat plain Greek yogurt
Lemon juice drops
Cayenne pepper
Salt
optional: 2 drops truffle oil
4 turkey breast slices
2 eggs
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 whole wheat English muffin
Directions
In a double boiler, heat the egg yolk with lemon drops until emulsified.
Take in and out of the heat
Slowly add Greek yogurt, returning to the heat until all of it is in the sauce
Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and truffle oil (if desired)
Toast English muffin and heat up turkey breast
In simmering water, poach the two eggs
Serve in this order: english muffin, turkey breast, poached egg, healthy hollandaise and garnish with micro greens
