Keto Everything Bagel Chaffle Eggs Benedict
If there is one meal that defines the perfect Sunday brunch, it is Eggs Benedict. However, the traditional English muffin base is a carb-heavy nightmare that kicks you straight out of ketosis. Enter the 'Chaffle'—a cheese and egg waffle that has revolutionized the low-carb world. By infusing a crispy mozzarella-based waffle with savory Everything Bagel seasoning, we create a base that is vastly superior to soggy bread. It holds up beautifully under a perfectly poached egg and a river of rich, lemony homemade Hollandaise sauce. This recipe isn't just a substitute; it is an upgrade. Packed with healthy fats and high-quality protein, this dish will keep you satiated for hours while keeping your blood sugar stable. It is the ultimate keto comfort food that proves you don't have to sacrifice flavor or texture to live a healthy lifestyle.
The Masterplan
Preheat your mini waffle maker. While heating, mix the chaffle egg, mozzarella, almond flour, and Everything Bagel seasoning in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour half of the chaffle batter into the waffle maker. Cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a second chaffle. Set aside on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
While chaffles cook, prepare the poached eggs. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer with a splash of vinegar. Create a vortex and drop the eggs in. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Quickly sear the Canadian bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side.
Make the Hollandaise: Add egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne to a blender. Pulse for 5 seconds. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter until the sauce emulsifies and thickens.
Assemble the Benedict: Place a chaffle on a plate, top with a slice of Canadian bacon, then a poached egg.
Generously pour the Hollandaise sauce over the stack and garnish with fresh chopped chives and an extra sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning.
