Arrange the Velvet Lamb Benedict nicely on a clean, white porcelain plate. They should be evenly spaced to showcase the unique elements of each Benedict. The glistening Hollandaise sauce drizzled on top of the poached egg adds a luxurious touch, beautifully highlighting the layers – the crispy English muffin, vibrant baby spinach, juicy slice of lamb, perfectly poached egg, and crowned by creamy hollandaise. Garnish delicately with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a drizzle of olive oil for a professional finishing touch.
