Kale and Tomato Eggs Benedict image

These are a whole new Eggs Benedict -- Hollandaise sauce is replaced with a light, kicky mustard-mayo sauce, and whole-wheat English muffins and a moderate portion of bacon can be enjoyed guilt-free. The tomatoes and kale keep the dish fresh and colorful.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ounces Canadian bacon, cut into small chunks
1 shallot, thinly sliced
8 cups petite kale or baby spinach
Freshly ground black pepper
2 whole wheat English muffins, split
1 large ripe tomato, cut into 4 slices
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the Hollandaise sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon warm water, mustard, lemon juice and cayenne pepper in a blender and process until combined. Scrape out and set aside.
  • For the eggs Benedict: Fill a wide pot with about 3 inches of water. And the vinegar and bring to a low simmer.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the Canadian bacon and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the kale, remove from the heat and stir until the kale wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Toast each English muffin in a toaster oven or under a broiler until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Top each with a tomato slice and toast until the tomato is just slightly warm, about 1 minute. Top each muffin with the Canadian bacon-kale mixture. Crack each egg into a mug and slip into the simmering water. Cook until the whites are at desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on each Benedict. Drizzle with Hollandaise and serve.
