Keto eggs Benedict on avocado

Keto eggs Benedict on avocado

What's a classic brunch dish? Eggs benny, of course! We make it keto by replacing the traditional English muffin with a bed of creamy avocado. Same poached eggs, smoked salmon, and hollandaise sauce, but none of the carbs. A fresh, healthy and completely delicious take on an old favorite.

    Eggs Benny, so delicious, I served with bacon and grilled chicken instead of salmon. My poached eggs were not picture perfect but tasty. I enhanced the sauce flavor with some apple cider vinegar and tarragon, much like a bernaise sauce. Very pleased! Very filling.

    The blending step can be tricky, especially if you don't blend it for long enough.

    Hi,
    Can i use salted butter instead of unsalted ? In these days of lockdown, i would rather make do with what i have in my fridge if it does not affect the "ketoness" of the recipe.

    I have finally found the perfect hollandaise sauce recipe I have struggled for decades to make a sauce that didn't break down, or get too runny, or not taste good. This was easy, and delicious and perfect! Thank you. Can you refrigerate the leftover sauce? Because we ended up just eating way more than we should have because it was delicious, but I also wasn't sure if it would last in the fridge. Is it better to make a half recipe or can you save some? Thanks!

    I would recommend only refrigerating for a day or two at the most. You can try to halve the recipe, but I am not sure it would work. If it doesn't work halved, you can add in the full ingredients to bring it together.

    Could you give a weight for the butter, please? Trying to estimate eight and a half tablespoons when using a solid block of butter is not easy! I don’t want to have to guess at it and then melt it before I can measure it properly.

    8 1/2 tablespoons of butter should equal 120.55 grams. Hope this helps!

    I am avoiding dairy due to an allergy. What can I sub for the butter to have the same consistency? Would coconut oil or olive oil work?

    Hi, Gidy! You should be able to use coconut oil or olive oil. You may even try ghee.

    As per another comment, I also could not get this sauce to work using this method. I blended and blended letting one batch go as long as 5 minutes, but still had runny soup. There is obviously a trick to it that is not mentioned in the recipe as I tried it multiple times (was determined to get it to work) but no joy.
