Breakfast is the best part of any day and benedicts might just be the best part of breakfast! (although the paleo bowl really gives them a run for their money…and coffee…and bubbles). So when it’s national Eggs Benedict Day and you have family in town -> you eat Eggs Benedict! (with coffee and bubbles)
But Benedicts are full of dairy and grain so we need to do a little tweaking to the classic. This has all the glorious texture and taste of a true Benedict so you’d never guess its completely grain, dairy, sugar, and gluten free!
I use the creamy cauliflower sauce as the replacement for hollandaise and a cauliflower sweet potato cake instead of an english muffin or toast. I did mine meat free, but John added a little cajun rubbed sliced turkey to his. Feel free to add any meat or meat replacement you’d like. Dandelion Greens would also be a great addition. We topped it all will freshly chopped chives.
Cheers! Hope you enjoy some Eggs Benedict today with friends and family!
The NON Benedict – with creamy cauliflower sauce and sweet potato cakes
Ingredients
Directions
-
Pulse half of the cauliflower in a food processor until it turns into a rice-like texture. be careful not to over pulse or it will turn to the texture of mashed potatoes.
-
Mix the cauliflower rice with the peeled baked sweet potato until combined
-
Heat the coconut oil on medium-high heat until hot (water will sizzle). the coconut oil should coat the bottom of your skillet and be 1/8 inches deep all the way across.
-
Form the potato & cauliflower mix into four equal-sized patties by hand. Add the patties one by one to the skillet and cook on each side for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil on the stovetop
-
Heat the broth (preferably on the stovetop)
-
Blend the remaining cauliflower, broth, and sauteed garlic and onion in the blender until smooth.
-
Fry the eggs in a skillet with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. These should take 1 minute on the first side and about 15 seconds on the second side.
-
Lay 2 fried potato cauliflower patties on each plate. top with eggs and any optional meat.
-
Ladle the creamy cauliflower sauce on top of the egg stacks and top with chives
-
Serve and enjoy!
