Methodology:
For making the Hollandaise: reduce the white wine with chopped shallots, peppercorns & thyme. Strain and cool when reduced to half. Blend this reduction with Dijon & one egg yolk & about a gram of salt over a double boiler and slowly pour in the clarified butter to form a nice emulsified sauce. Finish with a few drops of hot water.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water and shock in ice-cold water. Strain & chop coarsely.
Place 3 eggs to poach in gently boiling water with some white wine vinegar & salt.
In a pan add some butter & brown garlic, toss in the spinach & thyme and season to taste.
Place this spinach on a toasted English muffin
Top with the three poached eggs and hollandaise. You could also cheat and add the Ham of your choice or smoked Salmon to this recipe.
Serve hot with cracked peppercorns.
