Avocado and Spinach Eggs Benedict
Created by: stanleyt
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Hollandaise sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes, until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- While the eggs are poaching, prepare the Hollandaise sauce according to your favorite recipe or using a store-bought mix.
- To assemble, place a handful of fresh spinach leaves on each toasted English muffin half, followed by a few slices of ripe avocado.
- Carefully place a poached egg on top of the avocado and spinach, then spoon the Hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
