Eggs Benedict

Poor-man Eggs Bennie

4 eggs

4 slices whole wheat bread

1 tomato, sliced

¼ cup plain low fat yogurt

1 tbsp mayonnaise

½ tsp lemon juice

½ tsp dried basil leaves

Salt & pepper to taste

Spray medium skillet with non-stick cooking spray.  Fill skillet half full with water and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to simmering.  Break one egg into measuring cup.  Holding the lip of the cup to the water as close as possible, carefully slide egg into simmering water.  Repeat with remaining eggs. 

Meanwhile, toast bread, slice tomatoes and place one slice on each piece of toast.

In small sauce pan, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, basil and lemon juice and heat just until it starts to bubble, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and set aside.

Simmer eggs uncovered 3-5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.  Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of tomato on toast; spoon yogurt mixture over top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
