PROS

This indulgent brunch dish is a decadent treat for special occasions, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a lazy weekend brunch.

The combination of tender lobster meat, sautéed spinach, and runny poached eggs is a delicious flavor and texture combination.

Hollandaise sauce is a classic brunch staple, rich and creamy with a hit of tangy citrus flavor.

CONS

Lobster is an expensive ingredient, making this dish a splurge.

The hollandaise sauce can be difficult to master, as it can easily curdle or split if not whisked correctly.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lobster is a low-fat protein source with a high mineral content, containing selenium, zinc, copper, and phosphorus. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Spinach is nutrient-dense, high in vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron. However, the hollandaise sauce is high in calories and fat, so this dish should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
