Ingredients

• 2 pieces Whole-grain English muffins
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 2 teaspoons Distilled white vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Split the whole-grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the avocado thinly and set it aside for assembly later.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the healthy hollandaise sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the distilled white vinegar to the water.

Step 5

Crack one egg into a small bowl, then slide it gently into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, ensuring they don’t touch in the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them on a paper towel to drain.

Step 6

To assemble, place two toasted English muffin halves on each plate. Top each half with a few slices of avocado.

Step 7

Place a poached egg on top of the avocado slices on each English muffin half.

Step 8

Drizzle the prepared healthy hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy version of Eggs Benedict!
