Description

A delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite featuring creamy avocado, fresh spinach, and perfectly poached eggs on toasted English muffins, drizzled with rich hollandaise sauce.


Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 3 egg yolks (for hollandaise)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (for hollandaise)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for hollandaise)
  • Salt, to taste (for hollandaise)


Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the eggs into the water and let them poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  2. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the melted butter until the sauce thickens.
  3. On each toasted English muffin half, layer a handful of fresh spinach and several slices of avocado.
  4. Gently place one poached egg atop each muffin half, then drizzle with the homemade hollandaise sauce.
  5. Enjoy your creation while every element is fresh and warm.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve alongside crispy hash browns or a refreshing fruit salad. A zesty mimosa pairs beautifully with this dish.
