This dish was inspired by the famous Eggs Florentine: poached eggs on toast with spinach and hollandaise sauce.
The toast has been replaced by crunchy rösti rounds and the hollandaise sauce by a fresh beetroot purée.
Purée the beetroot in the kitchen machine or using the hand blender. Add a little water, if necessary, to give a smooth beetroot purée. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut larger ones into pieces. Wash the spinach and remove any tough stalks.
In the meantime, prepare the rösti rounds in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.
Bring water and a dash of vinegar to the boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat. Slide the eggs into the water one by one and poach them until cooked/still soft, in 2-3 minutes, to taste. Remove them from the pan using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan in the meantime. Fry the mushrooms for 3 minutes until done. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and remove from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Add the spinach and stir until it shrinks, and the liquid evaporates. Season the spinach with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the rösti rounds on 4 plates. Divide the spinach on top. Place the poached eggs on top of the spinach.
Coarsely chop the dill. Spoon the mushroom around the rösti rounds and sprinkle with dill.
Spoon the beetroot purée over the poached eggs. Garnish with cress and grind a little pepper on top.
