Light tofu variation of the classic American brunch dish, Benedict eggs.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 lemon
  • 200 g silken tofu
  • 1.5 tbsp Estragon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Tabasco
  • 1 head frisée lettuce
  • 125 g Fine spinach leaves
  • 3 Whole grain toast rolls (toasties)
  • 125 g Turkey salmon ham
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 6 Eggs

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Squeeze half a lemon. Blend silken tofu, estragon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth; season with Tabasco.

  2. 2.

    Wash and dry the frisée and spinach leaves; tear the frisée into bite‑size pieces.

  3. 3.

    Toast the rolls under a hot oven grill or in a toaster until golden brown; cut into small cubes (croutons).

  4. 4.

    Slice the turkey salmon ham into thin strips.

  5. 5.

    Just before serving, bring 1 L water and vinegar to a boil in a wide pot. Crack the eggs into a bowl.

  6. 6.

    Whisk vigorously the boiling vinegar water with a whisk.

  7. 7.

    Carefully slide the eggs into the water; the swirling motion separates the whites from the yolks immediately.

  8. 8.

    Bring the water back to a boil, then remove the pot from heat and let the eggs poach for 3–4 minutes.

  9. 9.

    Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain well. Meanwhile mix the salad and dressing, add croutons and ham on plates, top with the poached eggs, and serve.
