Caprese Benedict

September 1, 2020
Caprese benedict with poached egg

How many variations of Eggs Benedict have you seen on the menu lately? Probably a lot. Maybe one that has salmon, or one that has ham. Even lobster! But, how many can you name that are vegetarian? Not many. This caprese benedict is made with goat’s cheese, heirloom tomato, greens and a poached egg, all stacked on a toasted english muffin. This is for all the vegetarians who still want to take part in the benedict trend, or anyone who just wants to enjoy a light and healthy breakfast. The combination of acidity from the tomato, and creaminess from the egg yolk and soft cheese make this breakfast as crave-worthy as any meat forward breakfast.

Building the Layers of the Caprese Benedict

Step 1: Toast the English Muffin. Lightly toasted is the way to go.

Step 2: Goat Cheese. Its essential that the goat cheese is smooth and creamy, not crumbly.

Step 3: Mixed Greens & Basil. The green of the dish.

Step 4: Heirloom Tomato. Heirloom tomatoes are so underrated, they’re juicy and sweeter than you think! They have a rich, concentrated tomato flavor that is unique.

Step 5: Poached Egg. Ummm only the star of an Eggs Benedict. Essential.

Step 6: Salt & Pepper. Everything tastes better with a sprinkle of this and a pinch of that.

Caprese benedict no poached egg

To make this caprese benedict vegan omit the egg, and replace the goat cheese with almond cheese or hummus.

Ode to me and my mom, featuring my sister’s favorite breakfast

My sister orders eggs benedict every time we go out for breakfast. She loves the combination of salty ham with the runny poached egg and crunchy muffin. My mom and I on the other hand, love a perfect poached egg but we’re not fans of pork or smoked salmon in the AM. I’m always ordering everything with no this, and no that, add this instead, sauce on the side etc. It gets complicated! So, I wanted to create a version of my sister’s favorite breakfast that would please all the vegetarian or picky eaters out there, like myself.

This version is fresh and light, there is no heavy sauce and it’s packed with healthy veggies and protein. I would order this exactly as it is. Well, I would probably order the yogurt and granola since that IS my favorite breakfast , but if they were out of that I would definitely order this;)

Serious Relations ⁠⠀

She's the girl who wakes up and smiles because she's powerful and she knows it. She doesn't abide by anyone's rules but her own. She doesn't succumb to the pressures of society. This collection is called Battle of the Sexes because the woman behind the clothes is delicate yet confident and finds herself in a position of power in all aspects of her life. At work, in the city, within herself and with her oh so lucky subjects.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This confidence, it isn't the kind of confidence that exposes a big ego; not the kind of power that is self-centered and demanding. It's a modest, almost unnoticeable kind of poise. She doesn't demand that you listen to her, but you want to. She doesn't make the rules, but you follow her anyway. ⁠⠀
