Preparation:

Step 1
• In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter. Stir in the flour to form a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, whisking until smooth, and simmer gently, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring, until the floury taste disappears, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Gruyere cheese and paprika. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
Step 2
• In a large skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the olive oil. Add the shallot and garlic and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
• Pour water into a large, deep frying pan and bring to a boil. Crack the eggs into the pan and simmer for about 4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the poached eggs to a plate and pat dry with paper towels.
  
  Place 2 English scone halves on each plate. Sprinkle spinach over the scones and top with poached eggs. Drizzle with Mornay sauce and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
