Toast Muffins and Warm Lobster
Assemble and Serve
Replace lobster with an equal amount of cooked crab meat, sautéed shrimp, or smoked salmon for a different flavor profile.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the lobster with sautéed spinach and sliced avocado to create an Eggs Florentine with a California twist.
Instead of English muffins, try serving the benedict on toasted brioche, a split croissant, or a crispy potato rosti.
Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a dash of hot sauce to the hollandaise for an extra kick of flavor.
Both lobster and eggs are packed with high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and promoting a feeling of fullness.
This dish provides key vitamins and minerals. Eggs are a great source of choline for brain health and Vitamin D, while lobster offers zinc for immune function and selenium, a powerful antioxidant.
Lobster is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health by reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels.
A typical serving of Lobster Benedict can range from 600 to 800 calories, depending on the amount of butter in the hollandaise sauce and lobster. It's a rich, indulgent dish best enjoyed on special occasions.
While delicious, it's a high-calorie, high-fat dish due to the butter-rich hollandaise sauce. However, it is also an excellent source of high-quality protein from the lobster and eggs, and provides essential nutrients like Vitamin B12 and selenium.
Hollandaise is best served fresh. However, you can make it up to an hour ahead and keep it warm in a thermos or over a bowl of warm water. To reheat, whisk gently over a double boiler on very low heat, adding a splash of warm water if it's too thick.
To fix a broken sauce, place a fresh egg yolk in a clean bowl and slowly whisk the broken sauce into it, a little at a time. Alternatively, whisk in a teaspoon of very hot water until the sauce becomes smooth and emulsified again.
Excellent substitutes include cooked lump crab meat, sautéed shrimp, or high-quality smoked salmon. Each offers a unique and delicious take on the classic benedict.
Since the dish is very rich, it pairs well with lighter sides. A simple green salad with a vinaigrette, roasted asparagus, or fresh fruit are all great options to balance the meal.
