Ingredients

Makes 4 servings 1x 2x 4x

Plant-based Red Pepper Hollandaise
1/2 cup pourable JUST Egg
1/4 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers finely minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup plant-based butter melted
Salt, to taste
Plant Based Eggs Benedict
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 (5 ounce) container baby spinach
1/4 cup Sliced Greek Kalamata Olives
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 English muffins separated and toasted
8 pieces Roasted Red Bell Peppers
4 JUST Egg Folded, cooked to package instructions
Smoked paprika, to garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

To a large glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, add the pourable JUST Egg, finely minced Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, lemon juice and salt and begin whisking until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the melted plant-based butter in a thin steady stream while constantly whisking until the mixture is emulsified and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. The hollandaise will thicken as it sits off the heat.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the Mezzetta® Sliced Greek Kalamata Olives and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To build your benedict, start with a toasted English muffin half and top with a bit of the spinach mixture, 2 pieces of Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers and the fully warmed JUST Egg Folded. Top with a generous spoonful of the red pepper hollandaise and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
