    Brush bacon with maple mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing with remaining maple mixture when turning, until golden and crisp at the edges.
  6. 6.
    Place hollandaise sauce into a small heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds or until warmed.

    Place toasted brioche onto serving plates. Spread each slice with hollandaise sauce, top with spinach leaves, bacon and a poached egg.
