Start by preparing the hollandaise sauce. Beat the egg yolks with the salt in a heatproof bowl, place the bowl over the pan of water and add vinegar whilst consistently beating the yolks until they thicken. 2. Add in the melted butter a little at a time and whisk the mixture continuously, the mix should continue to thicken until it coats the back of a spoon. 3. When the butter is all added and the sauce is light and thick remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk for another minute. Check the seasoning and add a little lemon juice. 4. Keep the sauce warm until you need it (stand the bowl in warm water). The sauce will curdle if overheated, and go too hard if allowed to go cold. 5. Prepare your spinach. Melt the butter in a medium pan until it froths, tip in the spinach and keep stirring it until it has wilted. Season this with salt and pepper and set aside. 6. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes. 7. To assemble the Eggs Florentine toast the crumpets, load them up with spinach, pop the egg on top and spoon on the hollandaise. Finish with a grind of black pepper and some snipped chives. 878kJ/209kcal
