Caprese Eggs Benedict

Good morning :) I love big weekend breakfasts and this is a combination of two of my favorite things! A spin on a classic, skip the pork and bread and try this! The flavors are incredible together :) Hope you love it!



What you'll need: 
organic tomato
whole milk organic mozzarella
fresh basil leaves
vegetarian fed eggs

hollandaise sauce
1 1/2 sticks of organic butter
6 vegetarian fed eggs (yolks)
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp sea salt
(optional pinch of white pepper and cayenne pepper)
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
Prep your plate first with sliced tomato, mozzarella and basil. To make the sauce melt down butter over a double boiler and once melted whisk in egg yolks. Be sure to whisk continuously so that the eggs do not cook. Once those ingredients are smoothly blended  slowly add in the boiling water a little at a time. Stir continuously on medium heat until the sauce thickens. Take off of heat and whisk in lemon juice and spices. Poach your eggs and add on top of the tomato, mozzarella and basil. Spoon holandaise sauce over the top and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
