Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole-grain English muffins
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Split the whole-grain English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Fill a large saucepan with water, and add the white vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack an egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon and gently slip the egg into the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Lightly steam the fresh spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Drain any excess water.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted muffin half.
Top each muffin half with a spoonful of steamed spinach.
Place a poached egg on top of the spinach on each muffin half.
Sprinkle the eggs with paprika for a hint of spice, and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy low-fat avocado benedict!
