Instructions
- Cut the keto bun in half.
- Optionally, place under a broiler for a few minutes to crisp up.
- Poach the eggs.
- Fill a saucepan with water and add a dash of white vinegar and a pinch of salt.
- Crack the egg into a cup.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
- Slowly tip the egg in the centre of the whirlpool, lowering the cup an inch into the water.
- Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.
- Remove the egg from the hot water and place in a bowl with cold water for a few seconds.
- This will prevent the egg from overcooking.
- Then transfer the egg to a plate and keep warm.
- Prepare the Hollandaise sauce.
- In a bowl, mix the egg yolks, Dijon mustard and lemon juice.
- Fill a medium sauce pan with about a cup of water and bring to a boil over a medium heat.
- Place the bowl with the egg yolk mixture over the sauce pan and make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Keep mixing until the egg yolk mixture starts to thicken.
- Slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture until thick and creamy.
- Keep stirring at all times to avoid clumping.
- If the Hollandaise is too thick, add a splash of water.
- If it clumps, place in a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Finally, take off the heat and add the Sriracha sauce, salt and pepper.
- Set aside and keep warm.
- To assemble the Eggs Benedict, place a slice of keto bun on 2 plates.
- Top each one with leafy greens, a slice of tomato and sliced avocado.
- Top each one with poached egg and pour over the Hollandaise sauce.
- Garnish with a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper.
- Serve immediately.
- Tip: You can prepare the keto buns and poached eggs in advance.
- The keto buns can be kept covered with a kitchen towel at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- The poached eggs can be stored in a bowl filled with water and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Hollandaise sauce is best prepared fresh and should not be reheated.
