Easy recipe
For the hollandaise sauce, melt in a small pan the butter, add half of the shaved truffles and saute for 30 seconds. The butter should be bubbling slightly. Using the bowl for the hand held blender (or a bowl that fits snuggly around the blender) put the lemon juice, water and egg yolk and a pinch of salt blend for 10 seconds. When the butter mixture is hot slowly add the to egg mixture while blending.
Poach 3 minute eggs.
Steam or boil the spinach until soft, strain and squeeze with your hands the spinach to remove any remaining liquid.
Lay the toasted bread on the plate, add the spinach, place the egg on top and spoon over the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with shaved truffles.
