Avocado Eggs Benedict with Sweet Potato Cakes & Turmeric Hollandaise

Benefits:
Avocados provide skin-hydrating monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A for smooth, radiant skin. Pasture-raised eggs offer biotin and protein to strengthen skin structure, and turmeric delivers powerful anti-inflammatory effects.

Skin Concern: Dryness, dullness, loss of elasticity

Prep Time: 30 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients:

Sweet Potato Cakes:

  • 1 cup grated sweet potato

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tbsp oat flour or almond flour

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • Pinch of sea salt and pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil for pan-frying

Turmeric Hollandaise:

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

  • 1/4 cup melted ghee or grass-fed butter

  • Pinch of sea salt

Toppings:

  • 2 eggs, poached

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • Optional: fresh dill, chili flakes, or microgreens for garnish

Instructions:

  • In a bowl, combine grated sweet potato, 1 egg, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Form into two patties. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook each patty for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  • To make the hollandaise, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together in a small bowl over a double boiler (or use a heatproof bowl over simmering water).
  • Whisk constantly while slowly drizzling in melted ghee or butter. Add turmeric and salt and continue whisking until thick and glossy. Remove from heat.
  • Poach eggs in gently simmering water for 3–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  • Assemble by placing each sweet potato cake on a plate. Top with avocado slices, a poached egg, and spoon over turmeric hollandaise.
  • Garnish as desired.

Shopping Tips:

  • Eggs: Choose pasture-raised or omega-3 enriched eggs for the best nutrient density.

  • Sweet Potato: Look for vibrant orange flesh for the highest beta-carotene content.

  • Ghee: Use organic, grass-fed ghee for a nutty flavor and vitamin A boost.

Cooking Tips:

  • Don’t overcook the hollandaise and remove from heat once it thickens.

  • Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the poaching water for neater egg whites.

  • For a fully dairy-free version, use olive oil in the hollandaise instead of butter or ghee.

This upgraded eggs benedict is equal parts indulgent and functional, a glow-worthy brunch that supports hydration, firmness, and skin renewal from the inside out.
