Take note
Please make sure to handle hot pans and boiling water with caution. Also, if you have any allergies to eggs or dairy, be sure to use suitable alternatives.

1

Poach the Eggs

Fill a deep saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl or cup. 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 until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and place it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

2

Sauté the Spinach

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add a handful of spinach and cook until it wilts down, stirring occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove the cooked spinach from the skillet and set it aside.

3

Prepare the Hollandaise

In a blender, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the hollandaise is too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.

4

Toast the English Muffins

Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown. Feel free to use a toaster or pop them under the broiler for a minute. You want them nice and crispy!

5

Assemble & Serve

Place a toasted English muffin half on a plate, followed by a handful of sautéed spinach. Gently place a poached egg on top of the spinach. Finally, generously drizzle the sun-dried tomato hollandaise on top. Repeat for the remaining servings. Serve immediately and enjoy your sensational vegetarian Eggs Benedict!
