Eggs Florentine With Orange Dill Sauce
- 1 lb washed spinach, stems removed
- 1 egg yolk
- 14 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 12 teaspoon turmeric
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 6 eggs
- 3 English muffins, split in half
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
- Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Drop in the spinach and cook 3 minutes, stirring several times.
- Drain and place a bowl or plate directly on top of the spinach in the colander and press down to squeeze all excess water from the leaves.
- Cover and set aside.
- Fill the bottom of a double boiler halfway with water and place over medium heat.
- Set the top pot over the water and drop in the egg yolk.
- Add the orange juice and whisk until blended.
- Whisk in the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice, then the turmeric, salt, and butter.
- Add 1 teaspoon of the dill and whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and the sauce has a thick, creamy consistency (about 2 minutes).
- Remove the top part of the double boiler and set aside.
- Pour the white vinegar into the water in the bottom pot and heat it to just under the boiling point.
- Gently crack the eggs one by one into the simmering water and poach for 3 minutes (I prefer my poached eggs a little firmer, so I cook them for 4 minutes).
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let the water drain from them.
- Transfer the eggs to a warm platter and cover.
- Toast the English muffins, then place them on 6 plates.
- Place 1 tomato slice on each muffin half and spoon 1/4 cup of the cooked spinach on top.
- Top each with one poached egg, drizzle a spoonful of the sauce on top,.
- and sprinkle with the remaining dill and some black pepper (optional).
- Serve immediately.
