Healthy Eggs Benedict
- 12 lemon
- 14 cup light sour cream or 14 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 14 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch paprika
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 slices peameal bacon
- 4 eggs
- English muffin, toasted
- chopped chives (optional)
- Squeeze 1/2 tsp juice from lemon into a medium-size bowl.
- Whisk in sour cream, shallots, oil, water, tarragon, salt and paprika.
- Taste and add more lemon juice, if needed.
- If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
- Bring to room temperature before using.
- Meanwhile, fill a wide saucepan with about 2 inches water.
- Add vinegar and bring to a boil over high heat.
- To cook bacon, lightly oil a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
- Add bacon.
- Cook until golden tinged, about 1-2 min per side.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Once water boils, reduce heat to low so water is barely simmering.
- Crack an egg into a small dish, then slip into water.
- Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Simmer, uncovered, until whites are set and yolks are done as you like.
- 2-4 minute To serve, place 1-2 pieces of bacon on an English muffin half.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs one at a time and dab whites with paper towel to absorb as much water as possible.
- Place 1 egg on top of the bacon.
- Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Spoon about 1 1/2 tbsp sauce over each egg, sprinkle with chives.
