Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English muffins
- 120 grams Smoked salmon
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
Instructions
1. Split the English muffins and lightly toast them. Set aside.
2. Fill a medium saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar.
3. Crack each egg into a small bowl, and gently slip them one at a time into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs and set on a plate lined with a paper towel.
4. In a small saucepan, whisk together almond milk and cornstarch until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and smooth.
6. To assemble, place toasted English muffin halves on plates. On each half, layer a piece of smoked salmon, a poached egg, and drizzle with dairy-free hollandaise sauce.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped dill and serve immediately.
