Ingredients

For the Benedict

  • 4 slices rustic Mediterranean bread or sourdough
  • 4 fresh eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 small tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Truffle Hollandaise

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon truffle oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of white pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Chives, finely chopped
  • Thin truffle shavings (optional)
  • Microgreens

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mediterranean Base

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Lightly sauté the spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.

Arrange sautéed spinach on each toast slice, followed by tomato and avocado slices.

Step 2: Make the Truffle Hollandaise

In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together.

Place the bowl over gently simmering water and slowly whisk in melted butter until the sauce becomes thick and silky.

Remove from heat and stir in truffle oil, salt, and white pepper. Keep warm.

Step 3: Poach the Eggs

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

Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully crack each egg into the center.

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess water.

Step 4: Assemble the Truffle Benedict

Place one poached egg on each prepared toast.

Generously spoon warm truffle hollandaise over the eggs.

Finish with fresh herbs, microgreens, and truffle shavings if available.
