Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 English muffins
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 200 milliliters Hollandaise sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Toast the English muffins until golden brown and place them on serving plates.
To make poached eggs, heat a medium-sized pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide them one at a time into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
Top each English muffin half with a generous spoonful of the creamed spinach.
Place a poached egg on top of the spinach layer.
Drizzle warm hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
