    I ended up making low carb eggs benedict last night. It was really
    worth it considering all the praise it fetched.

    Just curious as to where you cut carbs? I'm not a fan of eggs Benedict -
    mostly because I do not care for poached eggs. Hollandaise sauce is, of
    course, good on many things.

    Title: Asparagus Hollandaise
    Categories: Vegetables, Sauces
    Yield: 4

    2 bn Asparagus (about 1 lb)

    MMMMM-----------------------HOLLANDAISE------------------------------
    3/4 c Butter; melted
    3 lg Egg yolks
    2 tb White wine
    1 tb Dijon mustard
    1/4 ts Salt
    3 Drops hot sauce; to taste
    Juice & zest of 1 lemon

    Bring a small pot of water several inches deep to a slow
    simmer over a low heat. Fashion a double boiler by
    placing a glass or metal bowl over * not in * the pot of
    simmering water. In the bowl, off the heat whisk the egg
    yolks, wine, mustard, lemon juice, and hot sauce until
    light and frothy.

    Place the bowl over the barely simmering water and
    continue whisking until the mixture thickens and more
    than doubles in volume, about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove the
    bowl from the heat and whisk for a few moments. Slowly
    begin adding the melted butter in a steady stream,
    whisking continuously.

    Once all the butter has been incorporated, slowly whisk
    in the lemon juice. If you feel the sauce is a bit too
    thick feel free to slowly whisk in a few drops of warm
    water.

    Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes by
    covering it and placing it over the warm water, leaving
    the heat turned off beneath the water.

    Build a steamer with two pots nested together over
    medium high heat and steam the asparagus spears until
    bright green and tender, 5 minutes or so. Plate, top
    with generous spoonfuls of hollandaise and serve.

    The only carby thing is the english muffin. So I replaced it with a quick low carb bread made mostly of coconut and almond flour. It's not zero carb, but it's pretty damned close to it. ANd
    yes, I made a terrific hollandaise this time. There's extra for this weekend where i'll be slopping it over my eggs.
