Elevate your Eggs Benedict with protein-packed beef snacks

Is your breakfast missing something special? Or are you looking to upgrade your boring brunch? Well, we have a protein-packed snack that adds some delicious, umami goodness to a beloved classic. You’ll never see Eggs Benedict in the same way again.

Why beef snacks belong on your Eggs Benedict

Traditionally, Eggs Benedict is served with poached eggs, ham or bacon on an English muffin and topped with hollandaise sauce. It’s a delicious brunch and fairly quick and easy to make, even for a novice chef. But it can sometimes feel a little predictable and lacks that essential kick to get you moving in a morning.

MORiSH beef snacks to the rescue! They’re the perfect, healthy way forward to replace the fatty bacon with some quality proteins, boosting your immune system and muscle repair, so you’re ready for the busy day ahead.

These biltong snacks, sliced into handy, manageable pieces are super low in carbs but really high in protein. First, our artisan butchers select the very best cuts of silverside beef to air-dry naturally. This locks in all of those great nutrients, zinc and iron to create a traditional, bold and incredibly meaty flavour with a ton of health benefits.

Paired with your runny eggs and bitter-sweet hollandaise, the chewy texture and meaty goodness creates the combination you didn’t know you needed.

Creating standout Eggs Benedict with beef snacks

There are two ways to enjoy your air-dried steak with Eggs Benedict:

• Use the beef strips to top your muffin, replacing the bacon or ham for something with a little extra flavour. When you pop the eggs on the top, your smooth yolk will dribble down to create a softer texture.
• Or, for a lighter touch with a gourmet flair, chop up your beef snacks into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over your finished dish, giving your eggs an umami flavour burst with every mouthful.

Bread options: think beyond the muffin

Switching up your Eggs Benedict recipe base can really change the flavours of the whole dish. Don’t feel like you always need to stick to tradition. Beef snacks work fantastically with a whole range of new base options:

• Sourdough: the slight tang from a sourdough is a great accompaniment to the rich hollandaise sauce. Then the umami flavour brought in by the meat combines the crunch of the crust, the chew of the meat and the softness of the egg to cover all bases.
• Whole grain toast: if it’s a health boost that you’re seeking, then the added fibre and nutty texture with the protein punch of beef and eggs is exactly what you’re looking for.
• Sweet potato hash browns: for a gluten-free and nutrient rich combo, sweet potato hash browns or rostis add an extra crispy element and a sweet contrast to the rich sauce.

Whether you’re whipping up a weekend treat for guests, or you just feel like making something extra special – let’s face it, you deserve it – this take on the traditional Eggs Benedict is healthy, indulgent and completely customisable. You won’t be able to resist.
