Keto Avocado Salmon Eggs Benedict

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

You guys know that I love making new things with avocados and turning them into “boats”. This morning I wanted to create a breakfast avocado boat. So I poached some eggs and took a keto spin on Eggs Benedict!

The hollandaise sauce on top of the boats is such a classic and already keto friendly. Be sure to dip some salmon in it too!

Yields 4 servings of Keto Avocado Salmon Eggs Benedict

The Preparation

Hollandaise:

  • 3 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter

Avocado Boats:

  • 2 medium avocado, pitted + skinned
  • 4 large egg, poached
  • 5 ounce smoked salmon

The Execution

1. Measure out and prepare all the ingredients.

2. Add butter to a large microwave safe bowl. Put in the microwave in spurts of 20 seconds increments until melted.

3. Once melted, add the egg yolks to the large bowl with the lemon juice and salt and pepper. With an immersion blender on the bottom of the bowl, mix this together until you get a white, creamy mixture. Then, lift the blender up and down until it gets more creamy. Set the hollandaise aside.

4. Boil water in a saucepan. Then lower to low to medium heat.

5. Crack the eggs for the eggs benedict in a bowl and slowly pour them into the boiling water. Consistently stir the water in a circle. Stirring it in a circle will keep the egg white and egg yolk together. Do this for 3-4 minutes.

6. Once cooked, put the poached eggs on a paper towel lined plate.

7. Cut the avocados in half. Pit and skin them. On the backend of the avocados, cut a little off so it will sit on the plate even.

8. Add a poached egg to the avocado center, then add hollandaise sauce on top. Add smoked salmon on the side or on top. Enjoy!
