The finished Healthy Brunch Benedict, one of Marie's Healthy brunch recipes

Healthy Brunch Recipes: Brunch Benedicts


  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: Serves 2 - 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs, prepared as you wish – poached, soft boiled, or fried over easy
  • ½ cup each of sweet red, yellow and orange peppers
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 24 slices round sourdough bread or English muffin halves, toasted
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 24 slices deli-style smoked turkey breast
  • ¼ cup light shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions

  1. Turn on your oven broiler.
  2. Place 2 tsp olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the peppers are soft and the onion is translucent and beginning to caramelize.
  3. While the vegetables are cooking, toast your bread of muffins. Place them on a baking sheet and top each one with a slice of smoked turkey breast. Layer half the cooked veggies on the bread or muffins and set aside. (There will be a generous amount of veggies. If you’re hungry, you can pile two half the vegetables and serve two eggs for each person. You can also toast four muffin halves or slices of bread instead of two, and divide the eggs and veggies among four people.)
  4. Prepare eggs according to your favorite method – fried over easy, poached, or boiled. Whatever method you use, make sure the egg yolk remains fairly soft. Place eggs on top of vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese over the benedicts in equal amounts. Place the baking pan under the broiler for a minute or so, just until the cheese melts. Remove pan from oven. If using, sprinkle on a little parsley to garnish. Serve immediately.
