About Eggs royale

Eggs Royale is a popular brunch dish originating from Western cuisine, particularly associated with British and American culinary traditions. It is a variation of Eggs Benedict, substituting smoked salmon for the traditional ham. Typically, it consists of English muffins topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. Nutritionally, it is a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and various micronutrients, including vitamins B12 and D, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids. While high in essential nutrients, it can also be calorie-dense due to the hollandaise sauce and should be consumed in moderation for a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Rich source of high-quality protein, supporting muscle repair and growth, with around 12g of protein from one large egg.
• Contains vitamin B12 from eggs and smoked salmon, essential for red blood cell formation and nervous system health.
• Supplies omega-3 fatty acids from smoked salmon, which support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains eggs, fish, dairy, wheat (if using standard English muffins)

Suitable for: Pescatarian (if appropriate modifications are made), low-carb diets when served without muffins

Not suitable for: Vegan (contains animal products), dairy-free diets (contains butter and dairy in hollandaise sauce), gluten-free unless made with gluten-free english muffins

Selection and Storage

Eggs and smoked salmon should be stored in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and consumed before their expiration dates. Hollandaise sauce should be freshly prepared and consumed immediately to avoid bacterial growth.

Common Questions About Eggs royale Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of Eggs Royale?

Eggs Royale typically contains around 400-500 calories per serving, depending on the amount of hollandaise sauce used. It's high in protein, offering approximately 18-25 grams per serving from the eggs and smoked salmon. It also provides essential vitamins like B12, A, and D, along with omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon.

Is Eggs Royale suitable for a keto diet?

Eggs Royale can fit into a keto diet if served without the English muffin. The eggs, smoked salmon, and hollandaise sauce are low in carbohydrates and high in fats, making them keto-friendly. Simply substitute the bread base with a keto-friendly option, like avocado slices or a low-carb wrap.

What are the health benefits of eating Eggs Royale?

Eggs Royale offers several health benefits, including high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and maintenance. Smoked salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation. However, the dish can be high in sodium, especially from smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce, so moderation is recommended if you are watching your salt intake.

What is the recommended portion size for Eggs Royale?

A standard serving of Eggs Royale typically includes one English muffin (halved), two poached eggs, smoked salmon, and hollandaise sauce, which is generally adequate for a single meal. For a lighter option, you can enjoy half the portion or pair it with a fresh salad to balance the richness.

How does Eggs Royale compare to Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine?

Eggs Royale is similar to Eggs Benedict, but it uses smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon, adding heart-healthy omega-3s. Compared to Eggs Florentine, which includes spinach, Eggs Royale is richer in flavor but lacks the fiber and iron found in spinach-based dishes. Each variation offers unique benefits depending on your taste preferences and nutritional goals.
