- 100 g of spinach
- 2 tsps of butter, softened
- 2 slices of hovisⓡ granaryⓡ medium sliced

Method
- Step 1Bring a large pan of water to the boil and season with salt. Crack the eggs into two separate mugs and turn the water down to a gentle simmer.
- Step 2Swirl the water with a spoon and then one after the other, tip the eggs quickly into the water. Allow the water to settle and then cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes depending on how set you prefer the yolk.

- Step 4Toast the HovisⓇ GranaryⓇ, then butter it before topping with the wilted spinach. Remove the poached eggs from the water and dab gently with kitchen roll if they’re too wet, then place on top of the spinach.
