MAKES 4 // COOKING TIME 25 min

INGREDIENTS
300g spinach
7 eggs (4 whole, 3 yolks)
180g butter, cut into 1 cm cubes
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
Juice of 1 small lemon
4 bagels, toasted
2 smoked mackerel fillets, skinned and roughly torn
Salt and pepper

METHOD
1. Blanch the spinach by placing it in a colander and pouring boiling water over it.
2. For the hollandaise, place a small pot over very low heat. Add the 3 egg yolks and 2 tbsp water, then whisk in the butter 1 cube at a time.
3. Fill another pot with water and heat it to simmering point (not boiling). Add the vinegar. Stir in a circle in 1 direction to create a whirlpool. Poach the remaining 4 whole eggs, 1 at time by cracking into the centre and cooking for 3–4 minutes, until done to your liking. Drain on paper towel.
4. Top the bagels with spinach, mackerel, eggs and hollandaise sauce. Season to taste.
