• 1 Tablespoon Whisked Egg Yolk
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 teaspoons Water

1. For the hollandaise: (prepare sauce while eggs are poaching and vegetables are nearly done)
2. In a small saucepan, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Reduce heat to low, keep warm and stir occasionally.
3. In a double boiler over simmering (not boiling) water, constantly whisk the egg yolk, lemon juice and water until mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a metal spoon. Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle in melted butter, whisking constantly. Whisk in milk mixture. Serve immediately.
4. For the Benedict:
5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in baby spinach leaves and saute until soft (but not overdone). Add in asparagus spears and saute until heated through.
6. Place English muffins open-faced on plates. Place 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, fresh tomato slices, and half of the cooked vegetable mixture onto each muffin. Place a poached egg onto each half and drizzle lightly with 2 tablespoons hollandaise sauce.
7. Serve immediately.
