For the Yardbird Benny

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the English Muffins

    Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Place them on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spinach

    In a pan over medium heat, add the fresh spinach with a pinch of salt and sauté until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Yardbird Benny

    On each toasted English muffin half, layer the shredded chicken and sautéed spinach. Top with a poached egg, then drizzle with hollandaise sauce.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped chives before serving.
