Eggs Benedict with Healthy Hollandaise Sauce

I had to post this dairy-free eggs benedict recipe from Olympic for some Sunday morning indulgence! The yogurt-based healthy hollandaise sauce is a little lighter than the classic, but still tastes just as creamy and rich. The crispy English muffin, hearty ham, soft egg, and smooth sauce combine to make such a pleasant breakfast experience.

Special Diet Notes: Eggs Benedict with Healthy Hollandaise Sauce

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, optionally gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and optionally soy-free.

For vegetarian eggs benedict, simply swap the Canadian bacon with a vegetarian option, like sauteed mushrooms, roasted red bell pepper, or baked eggplant slices.
