Keto Eggs Benedict with Super Easy Hollandaise Sauce
On the few occasions that I do go out to eat for breakfast or brunch, I always order Eggs Benedict. It is one of my all time favorites and in the past has been a source of guilt due to my incorrect perception of the whole cholesterol and fat issue.
With a minor tweak this is a perfect meal low carb egg breakfast to order on the run while on the Keto diet!

Back to Eggs Benny! On one of the low carb forums that I frequent, there are several versions of Hollandaise sauce, so when I saw it, I immediately thought of a way to recreate my favorite breakfast and thus was born Keto Eggs Benedict!
The Hollandaise sauce is an easy blender version. This takes nothing away from the taste, it turned out every bit as good as the picky ‘cook it in a double boiler’ version.
And the leftovers! Oh my goodness, the leftover sauce hardened into a wonderful lemony butter that I spread on salmon, cooked broccoli, asparagus and so on for the rest of the week.
I didn’t even bother poaching the eggs! I simply took a Silicone Muffin Pan and baked the eggs in there!
Easy Hollandaise Sauce (for the Keto Eggs Benedict)
Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- Juice of ½ lemon (2 tbsp)
- Dash cayenne
- 3 egg yolks
The Eggs Part of the Benedict
Eggs part: (for 2 servings)
- 4 strips bacon
- 4 eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin cups with a strip of bacon. I tried to cover the sides and as much of the bottom as I could, but it is not necessary to cover the whole thing.
Break an egg into each bacon nest. For even more authenticity you could use Canadian bacon instead of regular.
While the eggs are cooking in the oven make the sauce. Melt butter in a cup in the microwave or in a cast iron sauce pot on the stove.
In a blender, blend egg yolks, lemon and cayenne. With the blender going on the lowest speed, slowly drizzle melted butter into the blender until its all in there.
I am quite certain this method would also work well in a food processor.
When done, drizzle sauce over the eggs and sprinkle with some fresh chopped parsley. I ate mine with avocado slices.
Customize Your Low Carb Keto Egg Breakfast For Your Preference
The timing of the eggs will depend on how you like them.
Also if you like your bacon more crispier than I do, you could bake the bacon cups in the oven for a few minutes first, then drop the eggs in and bake until they are done. So you will just have to keep an eye on your eggs!
Soooo good! I did not for a moment miss the English muffins underneath!
But if you do miss the English Muffin, try making Chaffles instead!
Save the leftover sauce to use during the week over veggies and protein. It is really good!

I just adore this recipe. There’s so much flavor and I don’t even miss the english muffin one bit. Try this one out this weekend on your family and see how they like it.
I bet they will love it as much as I do. It feels so gourmet with a slice of avocado.
This makes a great breakfast to serve to guests as well. The presentation is gorgeous, and the flavor is so robust. If they aren’t keto, you can add in an english muffin and everyone is happy!
I hope you try this wonderful weekend breakfast!

Careful at restaurants they some times use flour as a thickener .. if you only want one serving of this sauce , 1 yoke to 2 tablespoons 1/4 tsp lemon… will work also… lightly melt butter cool add egg yoke and blend in magic bullet or blender cup blend until creamy. add 1/2 tsp water pop in micro 1/2 second. or warm in sauce pan.. if it breaks
add a little more water
That’s good to know about the restaurants using flour, darn them! Great sauce tip, I’ll try that!
I’ve been ordering eggs benedict from my favorite diner and subbing a tomato slice for the english muffin. It’s yummy, but expensive, and I can make this easily myself. Thanks!
I know, I was surprised at how easily I could make something so yummy! Thanks for stopping by!
These looks delicious! I think I will try them with Quick Paleo English Muffins from beauty and the foodie.com. Thanks for sharing
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I definitely want to try this!
I never had Eggs Benny (<—love!) but would definitely try them like this.
I’m not really a fan of Egg Benedict but hubby is. I will have to show him this recipe and see if he would like to make it. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t believe I’ve never tried Hollandaise anything. You sure make this look worth giving a go!
Hollandaise sauce is also great over fresh asparagus. One of those divine side dishes!
This looks delicious!! I’m not allowed to eat eggs anymore, but oh man how I want to break that rule to try this!
This looks like a delicious and hearty recipe for breakfast. I like that it’s not too high in calories either!
Yum!! Eggs Bennie is one of my faves!
Something i truly miss from when we lived in Germany, the Hollandaise sauce! yum! Gotta try this!
i’m a fan of eggs benedict – not a huge one, but this looks good enough to try!
I’ve never thought to make them at home. THey sure look amazing!
Making Hollandaise sauce is kind of like making your own mayo. My sister makes it. I have never tried making it , but it looks easy enough.
I have not heard of this, it looks amazing. I like that it does not look hard (hopefully since I want to try it!)
Eggs benedict is my breakfast of choise as well! I love that this looks just as appetizing as it would at a breakfast place!
I love that this is a healthier version of eggs benedict. I think people start to eat healthier when they can still enjoy healthier variations of their favorite dishes without having to give up the foods they love.
This sounds absolutely amazing. I haven’t had anything like this in ages, but now I am hungry!
I am not much into sauces but this no carb Hollandaise has my interest-I am diabetic and have to watch those carbs! I love a buttery lemony taste and am certain I would love this sauce–I am not too much into bacon and prefer my eggs hard boiled.
I was actually thinking of doing a breakfast where I pour some of this sauce over hard boiled eggs. I think it would taste amazing!
talk about a 5 star meal! I so want to make this!
