Reuben Eggs Benedict

Healthy Fact of the Day

This indulgent brunch dish combines protein from eggs and corned beef. Eggs provide essential nutrients including vitamin D, B12, and choline. Sauerkraut offers probiotics for gut health and vitamin C. To make it healthier, use whole grain rye bread for added fiber. Consider reduced-fat Swiss cheese and lean corned beef. The hollandaise can be lightened using half Greek yogurt in place of some butter. While satisfying, this is a high-calorie dish best enjoyed in moderation. Balance your plate by adding fresh fruit or a small green salad. The fermented sauerkraut adds beneficial bacteria and aids digestion.

Ingredients

 

For the hollandaise:

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Russian dressing
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste

 

For the benedict:

  • 4 eggs for poaching
  • 4 slices rye bread, toasted
  • 8 oz corned beef, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Fresh chives, chopped
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin with hollandaise: whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Place bowl over simmering water (double boiler method).
  3. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking constantly.
  4. Whisk in Russian dressing and cayenne.
  5. Keep warm.
  6. Warm corned beef in a skillet until edges are crispy.
  7. Toast rye bread and butter lightly.
  8. Heat sauerkraut and drain well.
  9. Bring water to simmer for poaching eggs. Add splash of vinegar.
  10. Poach eggs for 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny.
  11. Assembly: top each rye slice with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and warm sauerkraut.
  12. Place poached egg on top.
  13. Drizzle with Russian hollandaise sauce.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
