Fancy Eggs Benedict

SERVES: 4

We already know how popular eggs Benedict is, and when you take it up a notch by adding a few slices of mellow, good-for-you avocado, you're really in for an extra-special treat!

What You'll Need

1 Haas avocado
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (green onions)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 English muffins
4 slices cooked Canadian bacon
4 eggs, poached
Paprika for sprinkling

What to Do

Cut the avocado in half and remove pit with a spoon. Scoop out the flesh, place in a medium bowl, and mash with a fork. Add the lemon juice, scallions, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
Toast the English muffins and place each half on a plate. Top each with a slice of bacon then a poached egg. Spoon the avocado mixture over each egg, sprinkle with paprika, and serve immediately.

I love eggs Benedict, hate avocado. I don't care what you say this is not eggs Benedict. It should be called something else

I find it easier to remove avocado pits with the knife technique. After cutting the avocado in half lengthwise with a chef's knife, strike the pit with the knife to embed the blade about 1/4". The knife can now be used to turn the pit left or right which will dislodge it from the cavity.
