Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove 4 tbsp (8 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside in a warm place to soften.
  • Thinly slice chives. 
  • Zest, then juice lemon. 
  • Halve ciabatta rolls, then spread softened butter over cut sides. 
  • Add ciabatta halves to a unlined baking sheet, cut-sides up. 
  • Toast in the middle of the oven 3-5 min, until golden and toasted. 
Cook bacon
2
  • Arrange bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Roast in the bottom of the oven for 12-14 min until crispy.**
  • Remove bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
Poach eggs
3
  • Meanwhile, to a medium pot add 8 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium. 
  • Crack eggs into a large glass or ramekin. 
  • Using a spoon, swirl water carefully to create a small whirlpool. One at a time, add eggs to the swirling water. 
  • Cook 3-4 min, gently stirring water every few minutes, until eggs are softly set.**
Make faux hollandaise
4
  • To a small pot over medium-high or in the microwave, melt 4 tbsp (8 tbsp) butter.
  • While butter melts, in a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest.
  • Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth. (NOTE: If the mixture is too thick, gradually whisk in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) warm water).
  • Add half the chives. Season with salt, then whisk to combine. Set aside. 
Dress greens
5
  • To a large bowl, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) remaining lemon juice and 2 1/2 tsp (5 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Add arugula and spinach mix, then toss to coat.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide ciabatta halves between plates, then top with dressed greens.
  • Once eggs have reached desired doneness, remove them from water with a slotted spoon.
  • Blot gently with paper towels and add one egg to the top of each dressed ciabatta half. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon faux hollandaise over eggs, then sprinkle bacon over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining chives.
