Full of healthy fats and protein, this dish is a great way to break your fast and keep you going throughout the day. Enjoy it every day of the week (sometimes I’ll even have it for dinner!)
I encourage you to embrace a freestyle way of cooking, and use this recipe as a guide. Don’t get too caught up in measuring things exactly — you can eyeball most things.
Cooking should be relaxing, unfussy and an opportunity for you to exercise your creativity. Don’t forget to taste as you go along, and use your intuition with flavours.
Trust your instinct, on whether it needs more of this, or more of that — cook to what you like!
Everyone has their own way, but this is how I do mine.
As the eggs cook, get on with making the hollandaise (recipe here) and wilted spinach.
To wilt the spinach, heat a pan over a low-medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Add the spinach, put the lid on and allow it to wilt down(or disappear). This should only take about 3 minutes, but check it half way though and give it a stir. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble To serve, place the spinach on a plate, creating a little nest. Top the spinach with eggs and hollandaise, and serve alongside the smoked salmon. The hollandaise will have some acidity, but if you would like more, you can squeeze a bit of lemon.
Bon App!
