Ingredients

Low Calorie Hollandaise:

½ cup 0% Greek Yogurt
⅛ cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
⅕ tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 dashes hot sauce optional

Eggs Benedict:

2 whole wheat English muffins or these Low Calorie English Muffins
4 eggs
4 slices Canadian bacon

Instructions

In a small sauce pan whisk the Low Calorie Hollandaise ingredients together. Heat over low heat to warm up while you work on the Eggs Benedict.
Heat a large skillet on medium low heat, add the Canadian Bacon or ham and cook until warmed through and slightly browned, about 3 minutes each side.
While the Canadian bacon is cooking, bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil. Add the vinegar, and lower the heat to a bare simmer.
Working one egg at a time you crack an egg into a small bowl and slip it into the barely simmering water. Once it begins to solidify, you can slip in another egg, until you have all four cooking.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 4 minutes. When it comes time to remove the eggs, gently lift out with a slotted spoon.
Meanwhile, toast the English Muffins and plate them.
To assemble your Eggs Benedict, top each English Muffin half with one slice of Canadian bacon.
Put a poached egg on top of the Canadian bacon, then pour some hollandaise over. Sprinkle some parsley over it all and serve immediately.
