Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin.
  • Create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring it with a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool.
  • Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes depending on your desired doneness.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • To assemble the eggs florentine, place the toasted English muffin halves on plates. Divide the sautéed spinach evenly over the English muffin halves. Then place a poached egg on top of the spinach.
  • Spoon the warm Hollandaise sauce over each poached egg and season with freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

Storage: This is one of those recipes that's best eaten right away. You could make the sautéed spinach ahead and keep it in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I'd re-warm it in a skillet or a microwave. The hollandaise sauced can be stored in the fridge for a day and rewarmed in a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second increments.
