Savory Waffle Eggs Benedict

November 17, 2014 By Heather Blackmon

Savory Waffle Eggs Benedict // FITaspire.com

Breakfast is fun. Especially on the weekend, when I wake of dreaming of something delicious.

This weekend, I woke up dreaming of eggs benedict. But we were completely out of bread and it was cold outside! Although I love the beautiful snow, I wasn’t ready to head out into it first thing in the morning. I remembered I had plenty of Kodiak Powercakes mix in the pantry, which led to this creative take on eggs benedict.

I made the waffles and Kirk made the rest, so these came together much quicker than you’d think! This is a great recipe to work together with a partner and enjoy creating a beautiful & delicious breakfast together. Plus these savory waffles are great all on their own!

Savory Waffle Eggs Benedict
Recipe Type: breakfast
Cuisine: vegetarian
Author: Heather Blackmon
Serves: 2 servigns
Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup kodiak powercakes mix
  • 2 tablespoons canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2-2/3 cup water
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 dash white pepper
  • 1 dash truffle salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 tablespoon Earth Balance buttery spread
  • 4 slices applewood smoked thick cut bacon or seitan bacon
  • 1/2 tomato
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat waffle maker.
  2. Prepare bacon using your favorite method (microwave, oven, or stovetop). [i]A crisp bacon works best to add a crunch to this dish.[/i]
Make Sauce
  1. Add 1 inch of water to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Add two egg yolks,1 tablespoon of water, salt & pepper to a metal bowl and whisk together. Place metal bowl over simmering water and whisk continually, allowing the sauce to thicken and cook gently (about 2-3 minutes). [i]Be careful not to let this get too hot or you’ll end up with scrambled eggs. [/i] Melt 1 tablespoon buttery spread in microwave and add to sauce mixture. Whisk until combined. Remove from heat & set aside.
Make Waffles
  1. To prepare waffles, mix together powercakes mix through basil. Slowly mix in water, beating with a fork to create thick waffle mixture.
  2. Add 2-3 tablespoons of waffle mix to center of hot waffle maker. This will create a smaller waffle, closer to the size of an english muffin. Cook according to your waffle maker instructions until done (2-4 minutes). Repeat to make at least 4 small waffles.
Make Poached Eggs
  1. In a deep pan (at least 3 inches deep), add 2-3 inches of water. Heat water to simmer. Crack eggs into a small prep bowl (one at a time) and carefully transfer to simmering pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until whites are opaque. [i]Immediately start plating waffles, so you can transfer as soon as done cooking.[/i]
Assemble the waffle benedict
  1. Place two waffles on each plate. Top each with 1 slice of bacon (folded in half) and 1 thick slice of tomato. With a slotted spoon remove poached eggs from pan and transfer to waffles. Evenly divide sauce over 4 eggs and serve HOT!

Although we used bacon in our version, swap that for seitan bacon for an equally delicious vegetarian version! Enjoyed with a piping hot cup of coffee and you have the perfect leisurely weekend breakfast.

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
