Ingredients
Dairy-Free Healthy Hollandaise Sauce
  • ¾ cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoon lemon (or lime) juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch pepper
  • Dash Tabasco sauce
Eggs Benedict

Instructions
Dairy-Free Healthy Hollandaise Sauce
  1. Place the yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce in a double broiler and whisk to combine.
  2. Cook over the simmering water, stirring constantly for 8 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thick. It might thin a little at one point, but should then thicken back up.
  3. Taste and add more salt or pepper, if needed. The sauce may be made ahead and reheated.
Eggs Benedict
  1. Poach the eggs.
  2. Split the English muffins and toast them.
  3. Place each muffin half, cut side up, on a serving plate. Top with the ham and poached egg. Drizzle with the healthy hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
