Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole-grain English muffins
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons Distilled white vinegar
Instructions
Split the whole-grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Set aside.
Slice the avocado thinly and set it aside for assembly later.
In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the healthy hollandaise sauce. Set aside.
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the distilled white vinegar to the water.
Crack one egg into a small bowl, then slide it gently into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, ensuring they don’t touch in the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them on a paper towel to drain.
To assemble, place two toasted English muffin halves on each plate. Top each half with a few slices of avocado.
Place a poached egg on top of the avocado slices on each English muffin half.
Drizzle the prepared healthy hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy version of Eggs Benedict!
