Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole grain English muffins
- 4 eggs
- 8 slices low sodium smoked salmon
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp low sodium Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp fresh chives
Instructions
Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
In a medium saucepan, fill about three inches with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar.
Crack one egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Allow them to poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set, but the yolks remain soft.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the water and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, low sodium Dijon mustard, and ground black pepper. Blend on high, then slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Place two halves of the toasted English muffins on each serving plate.
Top each muffin half with two slices of salmon, a poached egg, and a generous spoonful of the prepared sauce.
Garnish with fresh dill and chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon.
