Eggs Sardou Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Creamed Spinach

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add Gulf shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until thickened. Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    In a serving bowl, layer the creamed spinach, add the cooked shrimp, and top with poached eggs. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve with grits or potatoes and a buttermilk biscuit on the side.
