Description

This sophisticated take on Eggs Benedict swaps a full-flavored, chunky vegetable medley for Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce. Add whole-wheat English muffins and poached eggs and this combo makes a lovely brunch or an elegant light supper when served with a salad.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Distilled White Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Shallot, Minced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 2 whole Medium Size Zucchini, Diced
  • 4 whole Plum Tomatoes, Diced
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Basil Thinly Sliced, Divided
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 dash Pepper To Taste
  • 8 whole Large Eggs
  • 4 whole Wheat English Muffins, Split And Toasted
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Fill a large, straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Add white vinegar.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in zucchini and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 tablespoon basil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, reduce the boiling water to a gentle simmer; the water should be steaming and small bubbles should come up from the bottom of the pan. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slip them one at a time into the simmering water, taking care not to break the yolks. Cook for 4 minutes for soft set, 5 minutes for medium set and 8 minutes for hard set. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a clean kitchen towel to drain.

To serve, top each muffin half with some of the vegetable mixture, an egg, a sprinkling of cheese and the remaining basil.
