Ingredients for Florentine Benedict

Method

Directions for Florentine Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    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 simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a plate.

  3. 3

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Spread a small amount of butter on each toasted muffin half. Top each half with a portion of wilted spinach, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with Hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
