If you are looking for something different in a summer fruit dish, look no further! I first found the idea in a grocery handout and have been serving it to summer guests. I have fun making it and they have fun eating it!
Watermelon “Benedict”
By Ellen Gutman ChenauxIngredients:
- 2 cups granola
- 3/4 cup honey
- 4 seedless watermelon rounds (2 1/2 inches diameter, 3/4 inches thick)
- 1 kiwi, peeled and cut into four rounds
- 4 black or purple grapes
- 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, mix the granola and 1/2 cup honey until the mixture sticks together.
-
Grease the inside of a 1/2 cup dry measuring cup. The measuring cup should be about 4 inches wide. Fill the measuring cup with the granola and honey mixture and push down with a spoon. Flip the mixture over one of the plates you are going to use to serve this dish. Do this four times. This is the “English muffin” part of your dish.
-
Place one watermelon round on top of each granola round. This is your “Canadian bacon.” Place one kiwi round on top of each watermelon round. This is your “egg.”
-
Mix the remaining honey with the yogurt and drizzle over the kiwi. This is your “hollandaise.” Top with a grape.
