And while this is certainly an involved, multi-step dish, the tasty, festive result is well worth it, especially on special occasions. Eggs Benedict and a tall Bloody Mary are by far my favorite brunch items. But it’s been several years since I ordered this dish because I don’t eat bread anymore. I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that I could easily make a keto version if I make a quick keto bread instead of using an English muffin! And while this is admittedly a multi-step recipe, the hearty, delicious result is very much worth it, in my opinion.
Ingredients
Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. 90-second bread: Alternatively, you could use any of the other keto bread ideas mentioned below, or even omit the bread altogether. As we’ve already established, the flavor is in the other ingredients, not in the bread. Hollandaise sauce: I make it using an immersion blender. It’s really quite easy once you get the hang of it. Large eggs: I’m partial to those gorgeous cage-free eggs with an almost orange yolk. Canadian bacon: You can also use thick slices of lunchmeat ham.
Instructions
Making a keto version of eggs benedict is not that difficult! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps: Your first step is to make the bread and toast it in a buttered skillet. Set it aside. Next, make the hollandaise sauce using an immersion blender. Set that aside too. Now, poach the eggs and briefly heat the Canadian bacon. Assemble the dish: place a slice of Canadian bacon on each piece of bread. Top with a poached egg. Spoon two tablespoons of hollandaise sauce on top. You can garnish the dish with chopped parsley if you wish, but that’s purely optional.
