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

Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

- To assemble, place the toasted English muffins on serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta sauce onto each muffin half.
