Method
Preparation of Vegetables
Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender.
Add Spinach
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Poaching Eggs
Prepare Water for Poaching
In a medium saucepan, fill with water and add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Poach the Eggs
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and drain on paper towels.
Making Hollandaise Sauce
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it is completely melted and hot, but not boiling.
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until the mixture is pale and thick.
Combine Butter and Yolks
Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking until the sauce is creamy and thickened. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
