  • METHOD

    • Poach the eggs (separately) in simmering water with 2 teaspoons of vinegar added. When the eggs are just set remove from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Keep the water warm to re-heat the eggs.
    • Add the damp spinach to a saucepan and season lightly. Cook, with the lid on, for about 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan and squeeze out any excess water.
    • Add the crème fraiche, mustard, honey and chives to a bowl and mix. Take half the mixture and mix with the spinach.
    • Add a ½-slice of ham to each toasted muffin half and top with the spinach mixture.
    • Place the poached eggs back into the warm water for a ½ minute to re-heat.
    • Place an egg on each serving and season with salt and pepper. Spoon a dollop of the remaining crème fraiche mixture over each egg.
