Ingredients

  • 15g Essential Unsalted Butter, plus extra for spreading
  • 260g pack Essential Spinach
  • 4 British Blacktail Free Range Medium Eggs
  • 180g pack hollandaise sauce
  • 2 muffins, halved
  • 100g smoked salmon
  • 4 tsp Elsinore Salmon Caviar
  • ½ lemon, for squeezing

Method

  1. Melt the butter over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan (ideally high-sided or a sauté pan). Fry the spinach with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Tip into a sieve and drain, then press to extract as much liquid as possible.

  2. Rinse out the pan, then half-fill with just-boiled water from the kettle. Set over a medium-low heat so that there are just occasional bubbles rising to the top. Crack one egg into a ramekin, then slip the egg into the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, keeping them well apart. Poach for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks still soft. Meanwhile, heat the hollandaise sauce in a pan according to pack instructions.

  3. Toast the muffin halves, then divide the pack of salmon and the spinach between them. Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs from the water and pat dry with kitchen paper. Set each egg on top of the spinach, then drizzle over the hollandaise (add a splash of water to loosen if needed). Finish with 1 tsp salmon caviar, freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
