Salmon Eggs Benedict , a delicious and protein heavy way to start the day !
Ingredients :
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
8 eggs
8 slices rye bread
8 ounces smoked salmon, cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1 teaspoon capers, for garnish
Directions :
To make the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together
yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper and hot
sauce. Cook over simmering water while stirring constantly, for 6 to
8 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
In a large stock pot heat 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Carefully break the eggs one at a time into the boiling water. When all the
eggs have been added, reduce the heat to medium. When the eggs float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain
briefly.
To assemble final dish: Toast bread slices and place on warm
plates. Top each piece of toast with a slice of smoked salmon and a hot poached egg. Drizzle with yogurt sauce; garnish with parsley
and capers.
