Eggs Benedict on Sourdough
A lighter take on the classic with poached eggs, wilted spinach, and smoked salmon on toasted sourdough, topped with a high-protein Greek yogurt hollandaise. All the richness of a traditional Benedict with more protein and less fuss. The perfect post-run breakfast when you want something that feels like a reward.

Benedict
The yogurt hollandaise has the same creamy tang as traditional hollandaise but with way more protein and none of the clarified butter technique. Smoked salmon adds omega-3s for inflammation and recovery, or swap for back bacon for a more classic version. Use the Sourdough Bread base recipe or any quality sourdough.
Whisk the Greek yogurt, melted butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Stir the water to create a slow whirlpool, then crack one egg at a time into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and rest on a paper towel.
While the eggs poach, toast the sourdough and wilt the spinach in a hot pan for 30 seconds.
Build the Benedict: sourdough base, spinach, smoked salmon or back bacon, poached egg on top.
Spoon the yogurt hollandaise over each egg. Finish with smoked paprika and fresh chives if using.
