Description

If you love poached eggs, this is amazing! The fluffy eggs and runny yolk mix with the slightly melted Swiss cheese so well that a sauce is not needed to tie it all together. My 6-year-old son named this recipe and asks for it every morning since we came up with it together a few weeks ago in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole English Muffin, Split
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Real Butter - Salted
  • 1 whole Handful Fresh Spinach Leaves, Washed And Dried
  • 2 slices Swiss Cheese, Thinly Sliced

Preparation

Fill a saucepan with water and heat over medium-high heat. Toast the English muffin halves. When water is slightly bubbling but not boiling, you are ready to poach your eggs. Take a spoon and gently swirl the water in a circle. Then crack in one of the eggs. It will swirl around itself and settle around the yolk. If you feel adventurous, you can poach two at a time. Otherwise, do them one at a time. The eggs are done when the whites are set but the yolks are still jiggly. You can let them cook a little longer if you do not like runny eggs, but I urge you to try them runny for this, it really makes the dish! Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them on a paper towel or a hand towel to dry a moment.

Remove your English muffins from the toaster and spread them with the butter. Top each with half of the spinach, an egg and sliced Swiss cheese. Enjoy!

That was my inspiration for this. It’s basically the same as Eggs Florentine, with cheese instead of Hollandaise sauce since I really didn’t feel like pulling out the blender and making a big ol mess!
