Ingredients
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and kept very warm
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 lb. baby spinach, wilted
- 8 slices Canadian bacon, warmed
- 8 fried or poached eggs
Instructions
- To make the waffles, have all the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat an oven to 200°F. Preheat a Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk and butter. Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- To make the hollandaise sauce, place the egg yolks, lemon juice and parsley in a small, deep bowl. Using an immersion blender, pulse several times until smooth. With the blender running, add the butter in a slow, steady stream and process until smooth. There will still be flecks of parsley. Stir in the salt.
- Place 1 waffle on each plate. Top each with some of the wilted spinach, 1 Canadian bacon slice and 1 egg. Drizzle with the hollandaise sauce and serve immediately. Serves 8.
