Nothing says Sunday brunch like Eggs Florentine, or Eggs Benedict if you want to add some meat. It is something a bit special for breakfast, that you wouldn’t have every day, but if you make a hollandaise sauce the typical way, it can carry a lot of calories.
I have come up with a healthier hollandaise sauce that uses yoghurt instead of cream. You probably guessed that I would use yoghurt, you know how much I like to use it as a replacement to cream.
Ingredients – serves 2:
- 4 eggs
- 2 whole wheat English muffins
- 4 handfuls of spinach
- 5 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- Juice of half a lemon
- Half a teaspoon of cayenne
- Salt and pepper
1) Cook the spinach in some boiling water for a couple of minutes.
2) Halve the English muffins and toast them.
3) Cook the eggs in a little oil for 3 minutes.
4) Put the yoghurt, mustard powder, lemon juice, cayenne and salt and pepper in a small pan and heat for 4 minutes, whisking constantly. Heat on low and don’t overheat as the yoghurt will split.
5) Put the drained spinach on the English muffins, top with an egg on each one and pour over some hollandaise sauce.

YUM!! I love your page! Feel free to follow me @ Getting Healthy with B on Facebook!
The sauce sounds really tasty.
Another great recipe from Hungry Healthy Happy. You have the best ideas, I am sad the month of breakfasts is over
This makes me sad that I have already eaten breakfast. I might just have to make this tomorrow, it will make Monday so much better. Thanks girl!
This is so low in calories – brilliant! I never miss Sunday brunch. It is a bit of a tradition for my husband and I. All you need with this is a glass of champagne
Definitely making these!
Can I just ask, how many eggs do you eat a week? You seem so healthy, but you eat a lot of eggs. I have heard a lot of things that too many eggs are bad for you. What do you think? I trust your opinion
This looks really nice too. We like to have something a bit different for breakfast on the weekends.
Delicious. I usually start my morning with spinach in a green smoothie, so this will be a different want to get that iron in.
I am in awe of how you can make so many things much much healthier. I can’t wait to make this.
I love eggs florentine. There is this amazing little cafe near use that serves this, but the sauce is full of calories, so I can’t have it very often. I am going to make this very soon, so I don’t have to feel like I am missing out. Thanks Danni. Your recipes are the BEST!
