Serving Size 1 egg Benedict

Net Carbs 3 g

*Net carbs are per serving

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vinegar, (optional)
4 slices Canadian bacon, (or ham)

English muffins

½ cup almond flour
½ scoop unflavored whey protein, (16g)
½ teaspoon confectioners sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
⅓ cup water
non-stick spray, (avocado oil or olive oil)

Hollandaise sauce

3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and black pepper, to taste
4 ounces unsalted butter

Garnish: chopped fresh chives

Instructions

English muffins

Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl, mix until a thick batter forms.
Spritz two 8-ounce ramekins with non-stick spray (we prefer avocado oil spray) and split the batter between the two ramekins.
Cook on high in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, until puffed and cooked through. *Start with 1 minute and recheck every 30 seconds after to make sure the muffins don’t overcook.
Remove the muffins from the ramekins, cut them in half, and set them aside (you will toast them at the end during assembly).

Poached eggs

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat until it is a low simmer with small bubbles coming to the surface. Add a splash of vinegar to the water (optional).
Crack your eggs into a small measuring cup, one at a time, and gently slide each into the water.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk consistency. Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon.

Canadian bacon

While the eggs cook, fry the Canadian bacon in a large skillet until warmed, about 1 minute per side.

Hollandaise sauce

Melt the butter in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until fully melted and hot. You can also melt the butter on the stove.
Add the egg yolks and lemon juice to a large-mouth mason jar or immersion blending jar. Use an immersion blender to mix for 5-10 seconds until combined.
With the immersion blender at medium speed, slowly add the hot butter to the egg mixture until it is fully blended and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

Toast the English muffins. Place the toasted muffins face up on a plate. Top with Canadian bacon or ham and a poached egg. Pour the hollandaise sauce over top of each egg. Garnish with fresh chives. Enjoy!
