Ingredients

• 500 g Lean pork tenderloin
• 250 ml Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 pieces Whole grain English muffins
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tbsp Vinegar
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 60 g Greek yogurt
• 100 g Fresh spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your slow cooker and add the pork tenderloin. Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the pork.

Step 2

Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pork.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low for around 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the pork and shred it using two forks.

Step 5

While the pork is cooking, split and lightly toast the whole grain English muffins.

Step 6

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar.

Step 7

Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 8

For the avocado sauce, blend the avocado, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt in a food processor until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 9

In a pan, lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray and sauté fresh spinach leaves until wilted.

Step 10

To assemble the Benedict, place a handful of sautéed spinach on each English muffin half.

Step 11

Top the spinach with a portion of shredded pork, and then place a poached egg on top.

Step 12

Drizzle the avocado sauce over the eggs and finish with halved cherry tomatoes. Serve warm.
