Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
To poach eggs, bring about 3 inches of water to boil in a large, shallow skillet over high heat. Turn off the heat and add eggs at once by breaking them directly into the water. Immediately cover pan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow eggs to cook undisturbed until done as desired, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a perforated spatula or large slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
-
Add the cooking spray and oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach until wilted. Stir in the garlic and sauté 1 additional minute.
-
Prepare a double boiler with a heat-proof bowl. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and vegetable broth, whisking constantly until hot but not curdled. Remove from heat and whisk in yogurt, salt (optional), and pepper.
-
Top each English muffin half with 1/4 of spinach mixture, one poached egg, and 2 Tbsps. sauce.
