Eggs Benedict
- 8 slices multi-grain bread
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 cup finely diced sweet onion
- 1 (10-ounce) box chopped frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 8 ounces light sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 8 whole eggs
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- Paprika, for garnish
- Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut a disk out of each slice of bread.
- Set aside and discard scraps.
- In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat.
- Add the onions and saute until translucent.
- Add the spinach, lemon zest, and lemon juice and continue cooking over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a food processor.
- Add the sour cream and blend until creamy.
- Add the hot sauce and then season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Fill a 12-inch nonstick skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water.
- Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat until the bubbles just stop.
- Crack each egg into the water and gently simmer until the egg whites have set and turned opaque in color, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- (You may have to do this in 2 batches.)
- While eggs are poaching, toast the bread rounds.
- Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle and then place the Canadian bacon on the griddle.
- Cook until warmed through.
- With a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the water and blot on a towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
- To assemble, lay 2 slices of Canadian bacon over 2 toast rounds.
- Then top with 1/4 of the spinach mixture and finish with 2 poached eggs on top.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of paprika.
