Grill or sauté the red onion
Slice the red onion into ¼-inch rings. If you have time to fire up your grill, the smoky, grilled red onions really bring thise benedict to the next level. Coat the onion rings with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on a medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until softened and lightly charred.
If you’re not grilling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 to 3 teaspoons of cooking oil. Sauté the red onion rings with a big pinch of salt until softened and starting to brown in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Make the “hollandaise”
Combine the Just Mayo and plant-based butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on low power for 20 to 30 seconds, until the butter melts and the mixture is warm (but not too hot). Whisk together with a fork, then add in the lemon juice, turmeric and water, and stir again. Finally add in the minced dill and stir everything together. Thin with additional water, depending on how runny you’d like your sauce.

Heat the Just Egg
Heat your desired number of Just Egg Folded in a toaster, skillet, oven or microwave, according to the box directions.
If using Just Egg, warm a bit of oil or plant-based butter in small, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the Just Egg and scramble like an egg: Use a spatula to stir occasionally while letting it heat evenly and set. Once the liquid is cooked through, remove from the heat.
Note: Depending on how much egg you want per serving, you can either top each English muffin half with a full Just Egg Folded or just a half, sliced diagonally.
