Image of (Lighter) Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 whole English Muffins (, split and toasted)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons skim milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • diced red onion
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • diced scallions
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream

Instructions

1. To make the sauce: in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, mustard, and milk. Set aside. 2. Lightly grease a deep, large nonstick sauté pan with vegetable oil; fill pan halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Break one egg into a measuring cup; carefully slide egg into the water, holding lip of the cup as close to the water as possible. (Repeat with remaining eggs, allowing a decent amount of space in between each one.) Simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until whites are set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs. 3. Top muffin halves with smoked salmon and a poached egg. Spoon sauce over the top and sprinkle with red onion, scallions, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
