For the poached eggs: 

1. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a low simmer. Add the vinegar. 

2. Break the eggs separately into small dishes. When the water is simmering, gently slip in the egg. Wait for a few seconds, then use a spatula to push the egg white aroudn the yolk. cook for not more than 3 minutes. 

3. Remove and immerse in iced water to stop the cooking. 

4. Dish out and trim the egg white with a pair of scissors for a neat shape.

6. To serve warm, return the egg to simmering water for 1 minute. 

For the sauce Hollandaise: 

1. Place the egg yolks and water in a heavy-bottomed pan set over a low flame. 

2. Whisk in a zigzag movement, making sure that you cover all parts of the pan, until you get a thick foam. If you find it hard to achieve this, add a small amount of water and continue whisking. 

3. Add clarified butter and whisk until well blended. Add lemon juice and season to taste with salt. 

For the bacon or ham: heat a heavy-bottom pan or griddle over low heat. Add a little oil and pan-fry the bacon until lightly browned and edges are crisp. 

To serve: place spinach on top of the Rösti, top with poached egg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon over Hollandaise sauce and top with bacon. Serve warm.
