Eggs Benedict Florentine (Dairy Free, Paleo, SCD)
I love eggs benedict. Actually, I think I may just really love the hollandaise sauce. But the combination of a poached egg, fresh spinach, and salty ham blanked in the silky sauce with a hint of lemon just makes my mouth water.
Because of my numerous failures making a hollandaise over the double boiler, this dish was solely a special treat that I would order when we’d go out for breakfast. Now that I know how easy it is to make a blender hollandaise sauce with coconut oil, I think this will be a dish served more often for breakfast in our home!
Usually I just serve the poached egg perched on a bed of sautéed spinach and a slice of ham, but I recently toasted a leftover almond flour dinner roll which was much more reminiscent of my restaurant favorite. Either way, this is a fulfilling dish that will get you out of that breakfast rut you’ve been stuck in.
| Ingredients 4 eggs, either poached or over easy 1/2 tablespoon virgin olive oil 2 cups baby spinach 2 ounces black forest ham (any leftover ham will do) 1/2 garlic clove, crushed pinch of salt and pepper 1 recipe for coconut oil hollandaise sauce 2 crusty dinner rolls, toasted (optional) |
Directions
Over medium-high heat, sauté the spinach, garlic, and salt and pepper in the olive oil.
Remove the spinach, then add the ham to the same pan and cook for 30 seconds on each side until it is warmed through.
Layer the spinach, ham, then the eggs on a plate and top with coconut oil hollandaise sauce.
I’ve updated my Eggs Benedict Recipe and now serve it over a Paleo savory waffle that is stuffed with bits of bacon and chives! It’s TO DIE for. Click on the picture below to see the recipe.

My mouth is watering. I think this is on my weekend menu.
This looks so gorgeous1 I’m with you on the sauce .. I am definitely a saucy time of a person! I think I might make for breakfast this morning!
I cannot find any ham without sugar added…do you have any suggestions? I am dying for benedict!
I’ve bought one from Whole Foods in their deli area that is nitrate free and uses honey for curing. I haven’t tried this one but the Paleo community seems to be behind this brand : http://www.grasslandbeef.com/Detail.bok?no=1191 You could order it and freeze it in small amounts maybe!
Awesome thank you.
