Allergens

Eggs, Soy (in store-bought hollandaise sauce)

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 12 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 4 rashers of nitrate
  • free bacon
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups hollandaise sauce (homemade)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce or tabasco to serve

Instructions

  1. Begin by wrapping each asparagus spear in a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a medium pot, bring water to a simmer for poaching eggs. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs set.
  3. Carefully lower each egg into the simmering water and cook for 4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
  4. While the eggs are cooking, steam spinach until wilted, about 2 3 minutes.
  5. Heat hollandaise sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent curdling. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  6. To assemble, place a bed of steamed spinach on each plate, followed by two bacon wrapped asparagus spears. Top with a poached egg and drizzle with warm hollandaise sauce. Add hot sauce or tabasco if desired.
