Butter the muffins and place on an oven tray and turn the grill on to medium to preheatstep 3
If you're using a packet hollandaise sauce, make this now according to the directions and keep on a gentle heat once prepared.step 4
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 minutesstep 5
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!step 6
Arrange the steamed spinach on top of the muffins, top with the poached eggs and pour the hollandaise sauce over the topstep 7
