For a richer flavor, consider using clarified butter for the Béarnaise sauce. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly dried to prevent a watery creamed spinach. The Béarnaise sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated before assembly. Do not overheat or it will break. Feel free to experiment with different types of crackers for a unique twist.
