    How to Make Eggs Benedict with Silken Hollandaise Sauce

    There are some rich foods that aren’t easily made over into flavorful, healthful choices. Thankfully, Eggs Benedict is a dish that’s done here successfully. The silken tofu gives the sauce a velvety mouth feel that’s unmatched. Plus, the sauce is so peppy you may never go back to regular hollandaise sauce.

    For a vegetarian version, try with seasoned, steamed spinach, kale, or roasted asparagus in place of the ham.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Puree the tofu, lemon juice, evaporated milk, butter, mustard, worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender on low speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
    2. Place the mixture in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer until hot, about 5 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, top each toasted muffin half with a ham slice, then a poached egg. Top each with about 3 tablespoons of the hot silken hollandaise sauce and serve.
    4. Fresh Fact: To poach eggs, bring about 3 inches of water to boil in a large, shallow skillet over high heat. Turn off the heat and add eggs at once by breaking them directly into the water. Immediately cover pan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow eggs to cook undisturbed until done as desired, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a perforated spatula or large slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    How to Make Ingrid Hoffmann’s Healthy Refried Beans

    Many traditional Latin recipes have been deemed unhealthy because of their use of pork lard. But in this day and age, the amount of good-for-you fats available is endless. These refried beans leave out the lard, and get lots of flavor from fresh onion and garlic, chipotles, and cumin.
