    Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite things to serve at a brunch!  It's an extra special way of serving eggs that in my opinion, is not only more elegant, but has great flavor!

    It's typically served over English muffins, which of course on Keto is not an option. Alternatively, you can serve over drop biscuits, bagels or 90 second bread.

    They are then topped with Canadian Bacon, poached eggs and the best part, Hollandaise Sauce!  Hollandaise Sauce is incredibly easy to make and is also great served over asparagus or broccoli.  

    Give this recipe a try for your next special breakfast occasion or brunch and you might find yourself making it again and again!

    What's in Keto Eggs Benedict

    • Whole eggs
    • Canadian Bacon
    • White vinegar
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Homemade Hollandaise Sauce

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    Batch of my Keto friendly Drop Biscuits,  Bagels or your favorite 90 second bread (made into 6 servings)

    How to Make Keto Eggs Benedict

    To Poach the Eggs

    Heat a large pot with water and bring to a simmer, then mix in the vinegar.  Carefully crack an egg in a small bowl, without breaking the yolk, then gently slide the egg into the simmering water.  

    Allow to cook for 3-3 ½ minutes, then gently remove using a spider (or slotted spoon) and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.  

    Though this photo is a little burred, I know, I just wanted to show how well the egg stays together once you drop it in.  This is due to the addition of the vinegar!

    The yolks should not be fully cooked, but should be runny. Depending on the size of your pot, you should be able to cook 3-4 eggs at a time.  Repeat the process until all the eggs have been cooked.  

    While the eggs are poaching, heat the Canadian Bacon, and slice open and lightly toast the drop biscuits, bagels or 90 second bread.

    To Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    For each plate, take 2 halves of the Drop Biscuits, Bagels or 90 second bread and place on a plate, cut side up.  Add a slice of Canadian Bacon on top along with a poached egg and drizzle the Hollandaise sauce over the top.  

    You can add a pinch of salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper or fresh chopped parsley if you'd like.

    If the Hollandaise sauce gets too thick, add in a tiny bit of boiling water and whisk. This should loosen up the sauce perfectly.

    Can I Make Eggs Benedict in Ahead?

    Luckily for those that enjoy a little meal prepping in advanced poached eggs can be made ahead of time. Cut the poaching time back by 1 minute but make sure the egg white is set up. Store them in cold water in the fridge for up to a few hours before serving. Reheat gentle in warm water just until warmed.

    For the hollandaise sauce, it is really best when served fresh. However, if you have some left over, you can freeze it in an air tight container. The butter will separate when chilled so when you reheat it, do so over low heat and use an immersion blender to reincorporate the sauce.

    Does Hollandaise Sauce Have Carbs?

    Adding hollandaise sauce to your eggs at breakfast or with any meal is a great way to get additional healthy fat. With only 1 gram of carbs per serving, hollandaise is not only good on eggs, it's perfect sauce to dress up any of your low carb veggies too!

    Is Egg Good for Keto? What are the Carbs in a Egg?

    Oh yes! Eggs are very popular on Keto. They're a great source of protein and fat and only have about 1 carb per large eggs. Eggs are so popular on Keto, there is even a Keto egg fast!

    Eggs host several health benefits too! They have approximately 75 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats. They are a great source for selenium, B2, B12 phosphorus, and many other vitamins and nutrients. To read more about the health benefits, check out this article from Healthline.

    Variations for Keto Eggs Benedict

    There are many ways you can mix up this low carb breakfast favorite.

    • Can't do a runny yolk? That's okay, use soft scrambled will work just fine. You can even serve the egg fried over well if you prefer.
    • Change up the Canadian bacon for sliced ham or breakfast sausage.
    • Looking for a totally different twist? Smoked salmon is amazing with the flavors in Keto hollandaise sauce.
    • Add your favorite melting cheese between the "bread" and egg layer.
    • Wanting to save on additional carbs you can serve the eggs and sauce without any Keto bread. It is just as delicious.
