Swiss Chard Eggs Benedict
Report
I love this lighter take on Eggs Benedict made with Canadian bacon, Swiss chard and poached eggs on a whole wheat English muffin. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 bunch (6 cups Swish Chard, washed well, stems and leaves separated)
- 1/2 cup white onion (diced)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 4 lices Canadian bacon
- 4 egg large
- 2 English Muffin toasted and split, light multi-grain or gluten-free
Instructions
- Dice the stems of the chard, and slice the leaves.
- Crack eggs into individual small cups or ramekins.
- Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat; heat the butter and oil until melted.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add vinegar and salt. Reduce to simmer.
- Add the onions with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Use a spoon to stir the water so it is spinning around in a circle. This will keep the egg whites from spreading out away from the yolk.
- Bring the heat up to medium-high, and add the stems with 1/4 cup water, cover and cook until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully drop eggs one at a time into the center of the pot.
- Add the chard leaves with 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside on a dish and keep warm.
- Simmer for 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Cover and let sit for 2 more minutes.
- To the skillet on medium-high heat, add the ham and cook until lightly browned on each side, about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Gently remove eggs with a slotted spoon and place on plate lined with paper towels.
- Divide the muffin half among 4 plates.
- Top each muffin half with a piece of ham, 1/4 of the chard and top with 1 egg.
