Lower-Fat Eggs Benedict
The tangy yogurt sauce replaces the traditional hollandaise sauce for this brunch or breakfast classic.
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
-
1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise
-
2 teaspoons skim milk
-
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
-
Dash ground red pepper
-
Nonstick spray coating
-
4 eggs
-
4 ounces Canadian-style bacon (4 slices)
-
2 English muffins, split and toasted
Directions
1.
For sauce, in a small saucepan combine yogurt, mayonnaise, milk, dry mustard, and ground red pepper; set aside.
2.
Spray an 8-inch skillet with nonstick spray coating. Fill the skillet halfway with water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat so water is simmering. To poach eggs, break 1 egg into a small dish and slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until eggs are just soft-cooked.
3.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Cover; keep warm.
4.
Cook and stir sauce over low heat just until heated through, but do not boil.
5.
To serve, top each muffin half with 1 slice bacon, 1 egg, and one-fourth of the sauce. Makes 4 servings.
