How to Cook Spinach and Tomato Eggs Benedict
- First, make the hollandaise sauce: Combine the light mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon warm water, mustard, lemon juice and cayenne pepper in a blender and process until fully combined. Set aside.
- For the eggs Benedict, cut the bacon into small pieces and peel and thinly slice the shallot. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and cook the bacon and shallots over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden, (about 5-6 minutes). Add the spinach (or kale if you prefer), remove the pan from the heat and stir for about 2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- Split the English muffins and toast under a grill (broiler) until lightly golden. Cut the tomato into four slices and top each muffin half with a tomato slice. Continue to toast until the tomato is warm, about 1-2 minutes more. Top each muffin with the bacon-spinach mixture and keep warm.
- Fill a wide pan with about 4" (10cm) of water. And the vinegar and bring to a low simmer. Crack each egg into a mug and slip into the simmering water. Cook until the whites are at desired firmness (usually about 4-5 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and place on each Benedict. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Heat the pan of water as you start cooking so that it's already simmering when you want to cook the eggs. When you are ready to add the eggs, stir the water so it forms "whirlpool" and gently ease the eggs into the centre of the pan. This will hold them together in a better shape.
