Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English muffins
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.33 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Crack one egg into a small ramekin or cup. Gently swirl the simmering water with a spoon, then carefully pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let the egg poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
To make the Greek yogurt hollandaise, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. If desired, warm the mixture slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
To assemble the sandwiches, place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top each half with a portion of sautéed spinach, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle the Greek yogurt hollandaise over the eggs, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek-inspired open-faced egg sandwich!
