Equipment

  • Oven
  • Stove Top

Ingredients

  • 12 Large Eggs
  • 4 Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 8 Ounces Canadian Bacon
  • 2 Cups Fresh Baby Spinach
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • 2-3 Stalks Fresh Chives
  • 1-2 Pinches Salt and Pepper to taste

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 8 ounces Butter unsalted
  • 8 large Egg Yolks room temperature
  • 2-4 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice 2 TBS if you don't want an overly lemon flavor, 4 if you do
  • 1 Pinch Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper Or a dash or two of hot sauce

Instructions

  • Set Oven to 375° F/ 190° C
  • Add eggs and heavy cream to a bowl, with a whisk or mixer, blend eggs for several minutes allowing them to stiffen. You will see the mixture begin to expand.
  • Chop Canadian bacon into tiny pieces. Reserve 2 ounces for garnish.
  • In a small skillet, heat at medium/high. Add oil and allow to heat for a minute.
  • Add spinach to skillet, toss with oil until greens have cooked down.
  • Grease a jumbo 6 well muffin tin or 12 standard size tins
  • Pour egg mixture evenly among muffin tin wells.
  • Add diced Canadian bacon and greens among each well.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes. Muffins will slightly pull away from sides and swell while baking.

Hollandaise Sauce

  • Fill ⅓ bottom of a saucepan with water. Pan should be large enough to fit the bottom of a metal bowl on top without touching the water. WARNING if the bowl touches the water, your yolks will cook.
  • Melt butter and set aside
  • Whisk egg yolks in a metal bowl with lemon juice until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Reduce water to a simmer and place bowl on top. Whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in melted butter a few tablespoons at a time. Once butter is fully incorporated into the mixture, add more butter
  • Repeat process until all butter is incorporated into the egg mixture. You may need to rotate the bowl a few times to prevent it from getting too warm.
  • Continue to whisk until the sauce reaches a thickness of warm honey.

The Final Touches

  • In skillet, add remaining two ounces of Canadian bacon and heat until edges begin to crisp.
  • Plate muffin, top with hollandaise sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh chives and Canadian bacon.
