Ingredients

Method

  1. Whisk the yogurt with the mustard, lemon juice, dill and salt. This is the sauce — it is never heated, so it cannot split.
  2. Wilt the spinach in the oil for a minute. Toast the bread.
  3. Poach the eggs in barely trembling water for three minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still soft. Build: toast, spinach, avocado, eggs, and the sauce spooned over.
Chef’s tipBarely trembling. A rolling boil tears the white off the yolk. You want the odd bubble and nothing more.
Make it twoPoach four eggs at once in a wide pan, and make the sauce the night before — it is better for a night in the fridge.
