Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins (dairy-free)
- 4 Eggs
- 8 slices Smoked salmon
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill, for garnish
- to taste Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Peel and pit the avocado, then mash it in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
In a blender, combine aquafaba, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and salt. Blend on medium speed until well combined.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a creamy emulsified sauce resembling traditional hollandaise. Adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small cup, then gently slide them one by one into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
Carefully remove the eggs using a slotted spoon and set aside on a warm plate.
To assemble, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted muffin half.
Place two slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
Gently place a poached egg on the salmon.
Drizzle the dairy-free hollandaise over the eggs.
Garnish with fresh dill and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Serve immediately.
