I recognize that calling this Eggs Benedict might be a stretch considering that there is no creamy sauce involved here… BUT this is a healthy version that has similar aspects to Eggs Benedict so I’m rolling with it…
Ingredients
- Two thick slices of eggplant
- Two eggs
- Chicken sausage (a savory flavor such as Italian style, or spicy jalapeno would work well!)
- Olive oil
- Trader Joe’s Everything but the bagel Seasoning (or just salt and pepper!)
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil (probably about a teaspoon per slice) over the eggplant slices (on both sides), and top with a little salt
- Air fry the eggplant for 10 minutes at 350 degrees OR saute in a pan until cooked, and a little crispy, place on a plate and set aside once cooked
- While the eggplant is cooking, prepare your chicken sausage per package instructions (I usually slice in half vertically, and heat in a pan for a few minutes), set aside once cooked
- Add a little butter or ghee to a HOT frying pan. Crack two eggs into the pan, cover for about two minutes, and flip once the spatula can easily slide under the egg (this is a good indication that your eggs are ready to flip). Cover the eggs and cook for about 30-45 seconds.
- Place one fried egg on top of each piece of eggplant, add chicken sausage on top of the eggs, drizzle with olive oil and top with Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning
