Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Saucepan
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 English muffins
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 10 cups baby spinach leaves

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a small sauce pan.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Add in the lime juice, heavy cream, and salt and pepper.
  • Next you need to tempur the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot butter to the egg mixture. Stir it well and repeat this process, slowly adding one spoonful of hot butter to the egg mixture.
  • Finally, add the whole mixture back to the saucepan and cook it for a few more seconds.
  • Fill the pot with about 3 inches of water. Heat the water until it starts to steam and bubble (just before boiling point).
  • Add a splash of vinegar to the water. Crack one egg in a small dish.
  • Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and pour your egg into the center of the swirl.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add heavy cream, and let simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Add baby spinach leaves and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast and butter English muffins. Layer with spinach, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.
