Remember to always be cautious when blending hot liquids, as they can splatter. Also, be sure to cook the eggs thoroughly to avoid any risk of foodborne illness.

1

Toast the whole wheat English muffins

Pop your whole wheat English muffins in the toaster until they are nice and golden brown. This will add a delicious, slightly nutty flavor to your Eggs Benedict.

2

Poach the eggs

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack your eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the eggs into the center. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

3

Make the lighter hollandaise sauce

In a blender, combine 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in 2 tablespoons of melted butter, while the blender is still running, until you achieve a velvety consistency.

4

Assemble your healthy Eggs Benedict

Place a toasted whole wheat English muffin on a plate. Top it with a slice of lean Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. Carefully place a poached egg on top, and then drizzle the lighter hollandaise sauce over everything. Sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper for an extra kick of flavor.
