Method
- Make the Hollandaise sauce and keep warm over a pan of hot water. Meanwhile, heat the grill until hot. Heat a large pan, add the spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out any excess water. Season well, add a knob of butter and set aside.
- Grill the bacon until crisp. Meanwhile, poach the eggs in boiling salted water, being careful not to overcook so that the yolk remains runny.
- To serve, butter the warm muffins, top each half with spinach and a couple of slices of bacon. Add the poached egg and pour over the Hollandaise sauce. Season and serve immediately.
Top Tip for making Eggs Benedict with wilted spinach
