I frequently make this spicy spinoff of classic eggs Benedict for my husband, who loves breakfast. I like the heat from the jalapenos and also that the avocado sauce is a healthier substitute for the usual hollandaise sauce. —Kara Scow, McKinney, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices

  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 6 large eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place first 10 ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth.
  2. Place toast on a baking sheet. Top each with 2 slices ham and 1 slice cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 6-8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place 2-3 in. of water in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides; add vinegar. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break cold eggs, 1 at a time, into a small bowl; holding bowl close to surface of water, slip egg into pan.
