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
Fresh spinach
2 cups, packed
English muffins
2, split and toasted

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese until well combined. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. To assemble, place the toasted English muffins on serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta sauce onto each muffin half.
  5. Top the sauce with a perfectly poached egg. Spoon additional sauce over each egg.
  6. Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy this delicious fusion of classic Eggs Benedict and Greek flavors.
