Whole30/Paleo Eggs Benedict! An Old Classic with a New Twist!

I love Egg’s Benedict. So creamy, delicious and satisfying. For this Whole 30 version I top sweet potato fritters with perfectly poached eggs and an easy Hollandaise sauce made in the blender. Canadian bacon is optional, in fact I opted to ‘California-ize’ my version with a beautiful, ripe avocado instead. Of course, you could always do both!

The Fritters:

Crispy, delicious, simple, and made with only four ingredients, these sweet potato fritters make a great alternative to the customary English muffin most frequently used for Eggs Benedict. Not only do I love the taste of these fritters but I also think the color makes the recipe even more appetizing, and when you aren’t eating bread you need to find the crunch where you can!

The Whole30 Blender Hollandaise Sauce:

Hollandaise sauce is usually made with butter, and you are certainly welcome to use a lovely grass fed butter in this recipe if you aren’t on Whole 30, but my W30 peeps will be happy to know my sauce is made with ghee, so it’s completely compliant, and honestly I think it’s just as delicious as when butter us used!

Let’s Talk About Poached Eggs…

Poached eggs are very easy to make, but a few tips can really help. First, use really fresh pastured eggs (NOT pasteurized eggs…very different!) Second, use a small pot and add a little white vinegar to the water, this prevents your egg from getting slimy. Third, use the vortex method! Wait what??? The vortex? Don’t sweat it, I have a video tutorial that shows you step by step how to do it.

Ingredients
Fritters:
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated (about 2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • generous turns of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • 2 Tablespoons chives, chopped and divided
  • Olive oil or ghee (for pan)
Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • A little pinch of red pepper flakes
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup melted ghee (if not living W30 you can use grass fed butter)
Toppings:
  • 2-4 large eggs (poached, see instructions)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Avocado (optional)
  • Canadian Bacon or traditional bacon (optional)
Instructions
Make Fritters and Poach Eggs:

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

    Line a colander with two paper towels. Peel and grate potato, sprinkle with salt and toss pour into colander and allow to sit for 10 minutes

  2. While potatoes rest, in a medium bowl whisk together egg, pepper and half the chives. After potatoes have rested for 10 minutes use paper towels to ring out any excess water and then pour potatoes into bowl with egg mixture, stir until very well combined

  3. Set an oven safe pan on the cooktop on med-high heat for two minutes

  4. While pan heats, place a small pot filled with three inches of water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar on high heat and bring to a boil

  5. Add olive oil or ghee to heated pan, use enough to coat pan well

  6. When pan and oil are hot but not smoking, use a large spoon to gently place potatoes in pan (about 1/4 cup per fritter) Use the back of the spoon to spread potatoes into a circle

  7. Cook for 4-5 minutes until first side is golden, gently turn, lowering heat if necessary. When all fritters are done, place pan in oven to keep fritters warm while you make eggs and sauce

Poach eggs and make hollandaise sauce:

  1. I recommend watching the video linked above for a quick egg poaching tutorial. Work in batches poaching two eggs at a time.

  2. Crack two eggs into a small dish

  3. When water in pot is boiling, use one hand to hold the egg dish and use a spoon in the other hand to stir water quickly, forming a 'vortex'. While water is vigorously spinning drop eggs gently right into the center of the vortex

  4. Cook eggs 2 1/2 -5 minutes: 2 1/2  minutes makes for a runny yolk, five minutes cooks them all the way through. I recommend runny of course

While eggs cook, make sauce:
Make Sauce:

  1. Melt ghee (or butter) in a small pan until very warm but not simmering and set aside

  2. To blender add yolks, lemon juice, dijon and spices

  3. Whirl for 30 seconds, then slowly drizzle in melted ghee (or butter) and blend for 30-60 more seconds. It should thicken immediately

  4. When eggs are done to your liking use a slotted spoon or fish spatula to remove them from water and set on a paper towel.

  5. Top fritters with avocado slices, Canadian bacon or both, add eggs

  6. Pour Hollandaise sauce over eggs

  7. Sprinkle with remaining chives, sea salt and pepper.

  8. Serve!
