- You can season the sauce with a bit of mustard, salt and cayenne pepper to taste, if you’ve got it to hand.
- Arrange the spinach, sliced cherry tomatoes, ham and toast on the plate.
- Poach the eggs (break into a pan of boiling water and cook for a couple of minutes).
- Put the eggs on top of the salad, break the yolks and finish with a dollop of the makeshift hollandaise sauce and a sprinkle of spring onion.
