Vegan Benedict

Anyone who knows me knows I have aloft spot for Eggs Benedict. During the traditional Sunday breakfast using with my family, it's a frequent flyer. In fact, I've ordered it so frequently that my mother will feign shock when I do order it, and feign greater shock when I don't. I've pointed out that if the predictability of my breakfast order is the subject of her criticism, she ought to consider the fact that her response is more predictable than my choice of breakfasts. But I digress...

Last week I couldn't bring myself to actually eat ham, so I ordered actual eggs Benedict with tomato slices substituted for the ham(truth be told ham and I have never really been friends, though I am a fool for a nice prosciutto.). As soon as I had placed my order, I characteristically whipped out my iPhone and googled the term "vegan benedict."

Eggs Benedict is basically a vehicle for Hollandaise sauce, so naturally I had my doubts that a vegan alternative could be found for a sauce made of eggs and even more egg yolks. I have to say I was delighted with the outcome. I highly recommend this recipe, and what's better is it took about 30 minutes from start to finish, assuming there isn't a deaf moose with carpal tunnel maneuvering around your kitchen.
