It’s easy to make a low carb Eggs Benedict by replacing the English muffin. This version uses a quick to prepare low carb Hollandaise sauce and bread.
When I was in college, there was a country restaurant that we’d go to for breakfast. I’d always get my eggs done the same way.
This low carb Eggs Benedict recipe is my updated version of my all time favorite breakfast treat. And, it’s served with a quick and easy low carb Hollandaise Sauce poured on top.
The traditional recipe calls for a toasted English muffin on bottom. So, I used my low carb Paleo English Muffin recipe that cooks up fast in the microwave.
It was easy to lower the carbs in the recipe. I simply switched out the bread with a low carb version. Sometimes, I just use a thick slice of tomato in place of the muffin.
Although I used a minute muffin as the base for this low carb Eggs Benedict, any bread that’s low in carbs will work. You could use my basic quick bread or Soul Bread in the recipe.
If you aren’t into making your own bread, you can buy some that are pre-made. I’ve reviewed the ThinSlim Foods brand, but LC Foods also sells fresh baked low carb bread.
The great thing is that as more people jump on the low carb way of eating, more companies are selling foods that fit the diet. I’m hoping one day, low carb will be the standard diet.
