Yep, you read that right! An eggs benedict recipe that is only 2 SmartPoints®! We have used some of the new zero Points® foods (like yogourt and eggs) to create a tasty and light hollandaise, which generously smothers a poached egg (also zero Points!) Enjoy this dish on a lazy Sunday, or as an easy weeknight dinner. Want to add a little more protein to this dish? Try our version with Cajun shrimp (also zero Points)
