Ingredients

Eggs and Spinach

Hollandaise Sauce

Preparation

Preparing the Spinach and Eggs

1. Sauté the Spinach

In a large pan over medium heat, add the fresh spinach and a pinch of salt. Sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Poach the Eggs

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

3. Melt the Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it is completely liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Whisk the Egg Yolks

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and thick.

5. Combine Ingredients

Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to emulsify. If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to reach desired consistency. Season with cayenne pepper to taste.

Assembling the Dish

6. Prepare the English Muffins

While the sauce is being prepared, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

7. Plate the Dish

On each toasted English muffin half, place a generous portion of sautéed spinach. Top with a poached egg and finish with a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with black pepper.
