  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 8 large eggs

How To Make eggs benedict & hollandaise with a surprise twist

  • Step 1
    Bring wine, 2 tbsp. vinegar and shallots to a boil in a small skillet - about 5 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
  • Step 2
    Combine wine mixture, tofu, sour cream, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, turmeric, and cayenne in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
  • Step 3
    Return mixture to the skillet and cook over low heat until warm, stirring constantly with a whisk.
  • Step 4
    Add water to a large skillet, filling it 2/3 full and bring to a simmer. Add remaining 1 tbsp. vinegar to the pan. Break each egg into a custard cup, one at a time, and gently pour each egg into the pan of simmering water. Cook approx. 3 minutes or until done to your liking. Gently remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean cotton kitchen towel.
  • Step 5
    Place 2 toasted English muffin halves on each of 4 plates and top each muffing half with a slice of ham (doubled if necessary), 1 poached egg and about 1 tbsp. sauce. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper, paprika and chives.
