Ingredients

1 Person

For the Hollandaise Sauce:

1

egg yolk
1 dash

lemon juice
50 g

Greek yogurt
1 tsp

mustard

For the Eggs Benedict:

1

egg
1 tbsp

white vinegar
2 strips

bacon or ham
1 slice

Protein Bread

Preparation

1

Put the egg yolk and lemon juice into a metal bowl. Beat together until creamy.
2

Heat the metal bowl over a pot of boiling water. Stirring constantly, mix in the yogurt and mustard. Stir until thickened. Thin with water if needed. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
3

For the poached egg: Fill a small pot half to three-quarters full of water. Bring to a boil. Add the white vinegar. Remove from heat.
4

Stir the water around with a spoon until you create a whirlpool effect in the water. Carefully crack the egg into the whirlpool. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Gently remove with a slotted spoon or ladle and set aside on a plate.
5

Fry the protein bread and bacon in a pan with no added oil.
6

Top the protein bread with the bacon, egg, and hollandaise sauce. Garnish your eggs Benedict with chives if desired.
