Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large avocados
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 Large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop a small amount of flesh from each half to make room for the eggs.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together until thickened and doubled in volume, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the melted butter a little at a time, ensuring the sauce does not curdle. Continue whisking until all the butter is combined and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Season the hollandaise sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Place each avocado half onto a plate. Top each with a poached egg.
Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb avocado Benedict!
