Preheat oven to 190°C.

Toss through the corned beef and broad beans, pour in the chicken stock and scatter over the mozzarella.
Season with pepper.
Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the whole dish is piping hot.
Scatter over the mint and, if wished, serve with warm hollandaise sauce and poached eggs.
Simmer the shallots, peppercorns, vinegar and water in a saucepan over a low heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons of liquid.
Strain and set aside.
Melt the butter and keep it hot while you combine the egg yolks with the strained vinegar in a blender.
With the motor running, gradually pour in the hot melted butter to make a thick sauce.
Season with salt, white pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
