My husband has been wanting Eggs Benedict for a while. I decided to get a little creative with it... Fantastic for breakfast or dinner!!







Toppings:
Canadian Bacon
1 cup shredded cheese(your preference, I used cheddar jack)
10 eggs(plus the 2 whites from the Hollandaise Sauce), beaten
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
fresh chives, chopped

This is a non- GF version...for GF use 1/2 this recipe

Hollandaise Sauce:

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 egg yolks, well beaten
1 tsp lemon juice

English Muffin Crust:
Place yeast, milk and sugar in a bowl and allow to proof until nice and foamy.
Add salt and melted butter and egg, mix well then add in flour 1/2 cup at a time.







Scrape the dough away from the sides of the bowl and form into a ball.

In a double boiler over simmering water  whisk butter, yogurt, eggs and lemon juice together.
Cook 15 minutes, whisking often, until thickened.









Remove from heat and still in remaining ingredients.

Grease a large skillet and heat over medium heat, add beaten eggs and cook, stirring often until slightly underdone.








Assembly:
Place crust in cold oven then preheat oven to 400, after it comes to temperature and remove from oven.










Spread the sauce over the prepared crust.
