Ingredients

  • โ—4 large eggs
  • โ—2 cups fresh spinach
  • โ—1/2 cup heavy cream
  • โ—1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • โ—2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • โ—1 tablespoon olive oil
  • โ—1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • โ—Salt to taste
  • โ—Black pepper to taste
  • โ—2 English muffins, split and toasted

Instructions

  1. 1In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
  2. 2Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sautรฉ until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  3. 3In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Set aside.
  4. 4Fill a large pot with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional) to help the eggs hold their shape.

  6. 6While the eggs are poaching, prepare the toasted English muffins on plates. Top each half with a generous portion of sautรฉed spinach.
  7. 7Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and place one egg on top of each spinach-topped muffin half.
  8. 8Drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the poached eggs and spinach. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and additional salt and pepper to taste.
