Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
- Whole milk (1 cup)
- All-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
- Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
- Eggs (4 large)
- Feta cheese (1/2 cup, crumbled)

- English muffins (2, split and toasted)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese until well combined. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble, place the toasted English muffins on serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta sauce onto each muffin half.
- Top the sauce with a perfectly poached egg. Spoon additional sauce over each egg.
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy this delicious fusion of classic Eggs Benedict and Greek flavors.
