A quick and easy, Thai twist on the classic Eggs Benedict Recipe that uses Green Curry paste and coconut oil to make a healthy Hollandaise sauce!
I see you with your peering-judgemental-what-the-heck-kind-of-crazy-recipe-has-Taylor-made-today eyeballs.
Stop that. It’s making me uncomfor-ba-ble.
Do you know how many times I had to re-read that sentence to make sure that I wasn’t make sense, but in a way that made sense? If that makes sense.
Now, I’m confused.
Back to your judgmental, starey eyeballs.
I know. This recipe. It SOUNDS WEIRD. I mean, Thai curry for breakfast? In the form of Hollandaise? I get it. Even Mr. FFF was all “DON’T EVEN BOTHER” when I pitched him my idea.
Sidenote: When I say “pitch” I really mean “pitch.” When I tell him my super creative ideas, he usually goes “can’t you just make me a steak sometimes?” So I have to proceed to give him eleventy billion reasons why I think it will work, how I will make it happen and how it will better his taste buds life, until he comes around.

Anyway.
After much pitching, he still wasn’t boarding the Thai Eggs Benny, or the Healthy Hollandaise Sauce train. So I just decided to make it and see what happens.
And clearly, since it’s making its way to yo’ face right now, something very delicious happened.
When I placed it in front of the hubskerdoodle, I could SEE visions of grilled-to-perfection steak in his eyes. He was definitely not thrilled by a piece of crunchety-toastey English Muffin topped with shrimpies and sauce. The egg though, I could tell he was okay with.
I mean, I even got him to eat a tofu scramble buy putting a poached egg on top. RUNNY YOLKS? ALL DA TIME.
BUT THEN, we both did a little munch action. The room was silent. I ninja side-glanced at him in effort to not make him feel like I was interrogating his taste buds with my eyeballs, and saw him take another bite. And then another.
And then. POOF. It was GONE. !!!
“So….what did you think?” I asked cautiously.
“What did YOU THINK?” He asked. Which he ALWAYS DOES and it’s SO ANNOYING.
So, I told him how much I loved how the creamy sauce balanced out the crispy bread, and the coconut oil brought JUST the right amount of sweetness to the spicy Thai Green curry. And then shrimp, well, I LUHVE them in anythingandeverything.
To which he replied “you are EXACTLY right. I was 110% totally and completely wrong and I will never doubt your creative abilities, or ask you to just make me a steak, ever again.”
Or, you know, something to that effect 🙂
Curry for breakfast ya’ll.
It’s a THANG.

So glad you made this ‘even in the midst of opposition’! (not sure if that really is a quote from somewhere, but I feel like it should be haha)

It wasn’t until a dairy trip last year that I became obsessed with eggs benedict. This looks fabulous 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
Haha! Its so good right!? Thanks Aimee!

Well I think it looks fabulous! Back in the day when we lived in Glasgow, Scotland and before we had kids we used to visit a local fancy cafe for brunch on Saturdays, Eggs Benedict were my usual order, along with a pot of hot tea of course 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
Yum! sounds perfect! Thanky ou Sheena!

Haha – I love your “summary” of what Mr. FFF’s opinion of this dish was! I love curry – anytime and on anything – so am all about this! Now, I have a special request – any chance of you and the hubs doing a back and fro convo for the next video you shoot? Y’all are hilarious Taylor!
Happy Thursday sweet lady!
Taylor Kiser says
I love curry all the things too!
Hahahaa…I’ll have to think about that one 😉 Thanks girl, have the best day!
Lisa @ Healthy Nibbles & Bits says
Is it weird that I didn’t even bat an eyelid at curry for breakfast? It sounds like a WONDERFUL idea! These babies are absolutely beautiful. Wish I could just stop over yours and have these for breakfast!

Yum! No judgement on this side haha. It sounded like a good recipe before I even read the post 🙂 I can’t wait to try it 🙂 If I am making something that sounds “weird” I just make it and feed it to my husband before I even tell him what it is 😉 9times out of 10 he’s down with it.
Taylor Kiser says
Haha! Maybe I should adopt that ignorance is bliss strategy!! Thanks Anna!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg says
I love Thai food. You’re totally awesome for trying things that go outside of most people’s imaginations or comfort zones. Mad props, girl. You rock! Keep these funky flavors coming.
