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.
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.
Wash and dry the frisée and spinach leaves; tear the frisée into bite‑size pieces.
-
3.
Toast the rolls under a hot oven grill or in a toaster until golden brown; cut into small cubes (croutons).
-
4.
Slice the turkey salmon ham into thin strips.
-
5.
Just before serving, bring 1 L water and vinegar to a boil in a wide pot. Crack the eggs into a bowl.
-
6.
Whisk vigorously the boiling vinegar water with a whisk.
-
7.
Carefully slide the eggs into the water; the swirling motion separates the whites from the yolks immediately.
-
8.
Bring the water back to a boil, then remove the pot from heat and let the eggs poach for 3–4 minutes.
-
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.
