Main Ingredients

Moe's Special Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach and Tomatoes

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Dice the tomatoes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Corned Beef

    In the same skillet, add the corned beef and cook until heated through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Making Moe's Special Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until just melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and white pepper until the mixture is thick and pale.

  3. 6

    Combine the Mixture

    Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while continuously whisking until the sauce is thick and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
