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.

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.
