Ingredients
- 4.5 cl of water
- 1 teaspoon(s) of white wine vinegar
- 3 egg yolks
- 180 g melted butter
For the poached eggs
- 1 teaspoon(s) of white vinegar
- 8 eggs
To serve

- 20g butter
- 300 g of baby spinach
- 4 slices of bread

a few sprigs of chives
Preparation
-
In a small saucepan, whisk the water with the vinegar and egg yolks. Pour into a larger saucepan two-thirds filled with water and cook in a bain-marie, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the melted butter while whisking. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Film on contact until service.
-
Make the poached eggs: in a saucepan of simmering salted water, add the white vinegar. Break the eggs one by one into a ramekin and carefully pour them into the water, leave to poach for 3 minutes. Remove them from the water carefully using a slotted spoon and set aside on absorbent paper.
-
In a frying pan without fat, brown the bacon slices. In a second pan, melt the butter, then sauté the spinach for 6 minutes, add salt and pepper. Toast the slices of bread, place a quarter of the wilted spinach, 1 poached egg on each slice, cover with sauce, add 1 slice of bacon and sprinkle with chopped chives.
