Ingredients
2 Servings
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 60 g butter
- 3 egg yolks
- 4 eggs
- 2 english muffins
- 300 g fresh spinach
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 15 ml white vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Wash and clean the spinach thoroughly. In a large pan, melt 30g of butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the hollandaise sauce by whisking the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Gradually add the remaining 30g of melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Step 3
Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 4
Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Place a portion of sautéed spinach on each half of the muffins.
Step 5
Top each spinach-covered muffin half with a poached egg. Spoon hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Eggs Florentine!
