Healthy Eggs Benedict

Is there a better brunch than eggs benedict? I think it would be tough to find anything that compares. Try this healthy eggs benedict today!

It is my little sister's birthday today, and her favorite breakfast is eggs benedict.  So to honor her big day, I made this healthier take on this brunch classic! This recipe also honors my sister's favorite line. Get lost in the sauce.  This recipe is all about the sauce!

I have lightened up this hollandaise sauce by using egg yolks, plain yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard!  There is also a little bit of Cajun spice mix in there to add a little zing to it.  Honestly, this sauce tastes amazing!  I highly recommend you try it for your next weekend brunch.  It would also be perfect for a work from home lunch.  Heck, I have even had this for dinner - I don't judge.

How to Make the Best Healthy Eggs Benedict

While the full recipe instructions are available below, here are some tips to make the best healthy brunch.

• It is very important that you use plain, non-fat regular yogurt.  Do not use Greek yogurt.  This is important because the type of yogurt that you use will have a big impact on the texture and flavor of your sauce.  Greek yogurt is too thick for this recipe.
• When you are heating your egg yolks, lemon juice, and yogurt together, you need to whisk the mixture constantly.  This is important because it will prevent your sauce from getting lumps in it.
• Follow my method for the perfect poached egg to prepare the eggs to place on the English muffins.  This method works every time!
• To keep this recipe healthy, I used whole wheat English muffins and spinach as a base.  Feel free to use whichever type of bread and toppings you would like.  Peameal ham or strips of bacon are always delicious additions.
