• Gather the ingredients.
• First, prepare the spinach. Heat up a pan large enough to hold all the spinach.
• When it is very hot, add a splash of olive oil and throw in the spinach. Turn it over using tongs for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Do not overcook the spinach or it will become slimy.
• Tip the spinach into a colander and press out any excess liquid with the back of a spoon. Return the spinach to the pan and divide into four portions. Keep warm by covering with a lid or a tea towel. Preheat the grill.
• To poach the eggs, bring a pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar. When simmering, gently crack the eggs and slip them into the water without breaking the yolks. Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes or until the whites are set, but the yolks are still soft.
• Meanwhile, split the muffins and toast them on both sides on the grill. Butter lightly and place onto warmed plates.

EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• If you're making the hollandaise sauce from scratch, make this first and set it aside. If you're using ready made or packet, leave this for now.
• Butter the muffins and place on an oven tray and turn the grill on to medium to preheat
• If you're using a packet hollandaise sauce, make this now according to the directions and keep on a gentle heat once prepared.
• Put a pan of boiling water on and add a touch of vinegar (optional). Give it a swirl with a spoon, crack and drop the eggs one at a time into the swirling water to give them a good shape. Turn the heat down and gently poach for 2-3 minutes
• Whilst the eggs are poaching, steam the spinach - this can be done in the microwave, but for seconds - keep a very close eye on it or you will have green mush. Recommend you do in 20 seconds bursts until it is wilted, nothing more!
• Arrange the steamed spinach on top of the muffins, top with the poached eggs and pour the hollandaise sauce over the top
• Place the tray under the preheated grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and just turning golden-brown.
• Bung on to plates and eat immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the muffins in half to give you two rounds from each and get broiler/grill ready to toast, if using. Heat a pot of water for poaching your eggs and wash ands remove any tough stems from the spinach. Roughly chop if the leaves are large.
• First, start on the hollandaise sauce - put the two egg yolks into a blender container along with the cayenne pepper, mustard and lemon juice and blend until smooth.
• Melt the 1/2tbsp butter for the spinach in a small skillet/frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spinach and wilt it down (it will only take a minute) and set aside.
• Poach your four whole eggs until the whites are translucent and the yolks are still slightly soft - roughly 2 minutes.
• As the eggs are almost ready, toast your muffins and melt the butter for the sauce.
• Add the melted butter in a steady pour to the egg yolk mixture, with the blender running the whole time so that it is properly combined.
• Serve it all up - on each plate place the two halves of a muffin with some of the spinach on top of each half. Place an egg on top of each half muffin then drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Melt butter. Melt butter in a small sauce pan.
• Beat egg yolks. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Add in the lime juice, heavy cream, and salt and pepper.
• Tempur the eggs. Next you need to tempur the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot butter to the egg mixture. Stir it well and repeat this process, slowly adding one spoonful of hot butter to the egg mixture. We do this to avoid curdling the eggs.
• Return to saucepan. Finally, add the whole mixture back to the saucepan and cook it for a few more seconds.
• Heat water. Fill the pot with about 3 inches of water. Heat the water until it starts to steam and bubble (just before boiling point).
• Add vinegar. Add a splash of vinegar to the water (this helps the egg stay together once it is in the water).
• Crack egg. Crack one egg in a small dish (I like to use a small measuring cup).
• Whirlpool. Next, create a gentle whirlpool in the water by taking a large spoon and circling it around in the water. Poor your egg into the center of the swirl.
• Cook. While it's cooking, make sure to watch the water temperature. You never want the water to boil, so if it gets too hot, you may need to turn down the heat. It should stay just below boing point. How log you cook your poached egg depends on personal preference. I like to cook it for 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon!
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream, and let the mixture simmer for a couple minutes until is starts to thicken slightly.
• Add baby spinach leaves and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes or until the leaves are wilted. Remove from heat and season with a dash of salt and pepper.
• Toast the english muffin and lightly butter it. Layer spinach on top of the english muffin and place egg on top of spinach. Top with hollandaise sauce.
