On Father’s Day I presented Mr. Simply Homemade with a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict.
Eggs Benedict

For the Hollandaise Sauce:
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Salt & Pepper
8 Bacon Rashers
100g Fresh Spinach
25g Butter
¼ tsp nutmeg
4 eggs, at room temperature
½ tbsp vinegar
4 thick slices of homemade crusty bread, toasted (Sourdough would be perfect!)
1 Place a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the vinegar, whisk in the egg yolks.
2 Slowly whisk in the butter until it is creamy. Add lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste.
