This Vegan Eggs Benedict Is: 

  • A delicious and easy vegan breakfast
  • A vegan twist on a classic breakfast.
  • Dairy and egg-free!
  • Will quickly become a favorite breakfast option.

Brace yourselves for a wonderful plant-based brunch recipe! These Eggless Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce are the closest thing you’ll find to a fancy hotel brunch experience while skipping the eggs. We should warn you though, the sauce is highly addictive and you might end up spending a considerable amount of time thinking of ways to include it in your regular meals.

Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise sauce is a brunch classic. This heavy and thick yellow sauce is usually made with egg yolk, melted butter, and lemon juice, and paired with eggs. It is very similar to mayonnaise but slightly runnier and it is usually served warm. This plant-based version is much healthier and lighter in comparison and you can enjoy it in so many delicious ways.

This Eggless Benedict with Hollandaise would be a perfect recipe to prepare for home brunch with friends and family. You can also keep the rest of the sauce to eat with some roasted potatoes or baked tofu. So good!

Which Bread Should I Choose?

For this recipe, we used English breakfast muffins which, we have to admit, is a perfect choice. The flavor and fluffiness of the muffins give it a special breakfast touch, which is what we are after. Of course, if you don’t find them in your local grocery store you can try with any bun-shaped bread you find, or a simple sourdough sliced and toasted.

In this case, it is all in the sauce, hollandaise sauce that is!

    I was a big Hollandaise fan for years, until I had to watch my cholesterol. This looks like an excellent, and healthier substitute. This looks so good that I am making it for lunch today. I just bought the Kindle version of Plant Based On A Budget, and can’t wait to dive into it this afternoon. The reviews on Amazon are outstanding. I am not a vegan per se, but because of health issues, I eat vegan much of the time. Blogs like this one, make it easy and delicious. Thank you so much for giving me back my health.

    1. You’re going to love this vegan hollandaise 🙂 And Toni’s cookbooks are amazing! Hope you enjoy everything you make!

    After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the

    from now on whenever a comment is added
    I recieve 4 emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!

    1. Not on our end, unfortunately. I’m wondering if there’s a subscription editing option at the bottom of each email that you can modify. If you run into any issues, feel free to email andrea@plantbasedonabudget.com and I can try to help assist you more there!
