  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For the Lemon-Herb Hollandaise

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of white pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh dill sprigs
  • Chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mediterranean Base

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Lightly sauté the spinach until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.

Layer spinach and cucumber slices on each piece of toast.

Step 2: Prepare the Lobster

If using pre-cooked lobster, gently warm the meat in a skillet over low heat for 1–2 minutes.

Avoid overcooking, as lobster can become tough.

Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3: Make the Lemon-Herb Hollandaise

Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl.

Place over simmering water and slowly whisk in melted butter until smooth and thick.

Stir in lemon zest, dill, salt, and white pepper.

Keep warm while assembling the dish.

Step 4: Poach the Eggs

Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar.

Crack each egg into a small bowl.

Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide in the eggs.

Poach for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Step 5: Assemble the Benedict

Top each toast with warm lobster meat.

Place a poached egg over the lobster.

Generously spoon lemon-herb hollandaise over the eggs.

Finish with fresh herbs, microgreens, and a squeeze of lemon.
