Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the spinach by heating a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 2-4 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
To make the miso hollandaise, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a blender, add 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Blend on low speed until combined.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while blending at medium speed until the hollandaise sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
Fill a medium-sized pot with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the water.
Crack 1 egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the other eggs. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Assemble the Eggs Benedict by placing a layer of sautéed spinach on each English muffin half. Top with a poached egg, then drizzle a generous amount of miso hollandaise over the top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper or chopped fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
