Start your day the low-carb way with this delicious Keto Eggs Benedict. Featuring perfectly poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and rich Hollandaise sauce, all served atop keto-friendly bagels or biscuits. A fantastic brunch option that fits your dietary needs!
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 6 servings Keto-friendly bagels or biscuits (such as Fathead Bagels)
- 1 batch Homemade Hollandaise Sauce (prepared separately)
- 12 slices Canadian bacon
- 3 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Prepare Your Sauce: Start by making your Hollandaise sauce according to its recipe. Once done, cover it and keep it warm while you prepare the eggs.
- Poach the Eggs: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer (small bubbles, not a rolling boil). Stir in the white vinegar. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Gently slide one egg at a time into the simmering water.
- Cook to Perfection: Allow the eggs to cook for about 3 to 3.5 minutes. The yolks should be wonderfully runny, and the whites perfectly set. Using a spider or a slotted spoon, gently remove the poached eggs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water. You can usually poach 3-4 eggs at a time, depending on your pot size. Repeat this process until all eggs are cooked.
- Warm the Bacon & Toast the Bread: While the eggs are poaching, gently heat the Canadian bacon. Slice open your keto-friendly bagels or biscuits and lightly toast them until they're golden. You can brush them with the melted butter if desired for extra flavor.
- Assemble Your Benedict: On each plate, arrange two toasted bagel or biscuit halves, cut side up. Place a slice of warm Canadian bacon on top of each half, followed by a perfectly poached egg. Finish by generously drizzling the warm Hollandaise sauce over everything. For an extra touch, you can add a pinch of salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or fresh chopped parsley.
