One thing I absolutely LOVE about living in San Francisco, is how seriously people take brunch! San Franciscans have definitely gotten brunch & day drinking down to a science. Some popular restaurants are only open for brunch, 9am-3pm. It’s so popular they are able to shut their doors in the afternoon and probably laugh amongst themselves at all of the patrons nursing their hangovers with bottomless mimosa’s.
The people watching in these line ups are pretty amusing to say the least! If you were to ask some of these people to wait 3 minutes for an uber, 10 minutes for a drip coffee or behind 3 people at Trader Joe’s; forget it! However, if you ask them to wait in line for over an hour at their favorite local brunch spot, they will do it with pleasure! I’m touched by the commitment and my fiancé & I partake in brunch shenganigans once a week. On the other day, we enjoy a leisurely brunch at home.
AN INDULGENT BRUNCH YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL SUPER GUILTY ABOUT!
Today I was super excited to try a new brunch recipe for the blog! Eggs Benedict is without a doubt my favorite brunch item but it’s pretty unhealthy! I wanted to create a lighter recipe that would still satisfy my craving for this high fat dish. I also opted to make a gluten free benny for my celiac friends out there. Whaaat whaaat!
Smoked Salmon is a great source of healthy oils and fats, dietary protein and iron but like everything else, moderation is key. Even though there are many wonderful benefits of eating smoked salmon, it is rather high in sodium, so don’t eat it all day, everyday. Alright?
Removing the english muffin and swapping it with avocado is such an easy way to get rid of unhealthy carbs. I’m trying to eat less bread these days and the struggle is definitely real, but with this dish I didn’t miss it! This Smoked Salmon Benedict with Avocado was all I dreamed of and more. My fiancé is already asking me to make it again next weekend.
WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T ENJOY RESTAURANT QUALITY FOOD AT HOME?
Please note that this recipe only serves 2 people so keep that in mind when buying your ingredients.
Drizzle my Herbed Crème Fraïche Dressing over top of the benny and enjoy!!
