Paleo Asparagus Benedict



A delicious Paleo twist on the classic Eggs Benedict, this recipe swaps the English muffin for tender asparagus spears. Perfect for a hearty and satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon or ham
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives for garnish optional

Instructions:

Pour water into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it until it boils

When the water is boiling, add vinegar

One egg at a time, carefully crack it into the water, and poach it for three to four minutes or longer, if preferred to get a runny yolk

Heat ghee or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat while the eggs are poaching

When the asparagus is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes, add it to the skillet and saut it

Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to asparagus to season it

Slices of ham or Canadian bacon should be cooked through in a separate skillet

To assemble, put a slice of ham or Canadian bacon on a plate, then add some sauted asparagus and a poached egg on top

If desired, garnish with finely chopped chives

Enjoy and serve right away!
