Why we like it

Silky hollandaise, runny yolks and wilted spinach are a classic combination, and making the sauce at home is easier than it looks. Eggs bring protein and choline, and spinach adds folate and vitamin K.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 200g spinach
• 1 English muffin
• For hollandaise: 2 egg yolks, 100g butter, 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• Salt, pepper, paprika

Method

1. Make hollandaise: melt butter. Whisk yolks with lemon juice over simmering water until thick. Slowly drizzle in butter whisking constantly. Season.
2. Bring a deep pan of water to gentle simmer. Add vinegar.
3. Wilt spinach in a pan with a little butter. Season.
4. Split and toast muffin.
5. Poach eggs: create a gentle swirl, drop eggs in, cook 3 minutes for runny.
6. Build: muffin base, spinach, poached eggs.
7. Spoon hollandaise generously over eggs.
8. Dust with paprika.
