Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Spinach and Toast the Muffins

Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain, squeeze out the excess water, and toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toast the English muffins until golden.

Step 2: Poach the Eggs

In a medium pot, bring water to a simmer. Crack the eggs into separate cups, then gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

In a saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add the butter in small pieces, whisking constantly over low heat until melted and the sauce is thickened.
