Alternative Eggs Benedict

This version of Eggs Benedict uses tahini and garbanzo bean pancakes instead of regular muffins and the sauce used in conventional recipes. Using these low-glycemic ingredients is good for overall health, in particular for those prone to cancer and other ailments which are fed by the overuse of refined sugars.

This recipe serves two:

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 c garbanzo bean flour
• 1 sprinkle cumin powder
• 1 sprinkle garlic powder
• 1 sprinkle sea salt
  
• 1/3 c water
• tahini
• ham or chicken slices (2)
  

Mix together garbanzo flour, water, cumin, garlic and sea salt, stirring until lumps are mostly gone and the mixture is the consistency of pancake batter. (Add more water if necessary.)

Pour into olive-oiled frypan, using about half the batter. Sautee on both sides until light brown. Set garbanzo pancakes aside and cook eggs in same pan, either sunny-side up or over easy, according to your preference. Sautee ham or chicken slices until warm.

Spread a small amount of tahini onto pancakes and top each with ham slice and egg. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or as a complement to a veggie dish.
