Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh large eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 4 cups Water
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg whites coagulate quickly.
Crack each egg into a separate small bowl to ensure the yolks remain intact. This helps with easy transfer to the water.
With a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring in a circular motion.
Gently slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. This will help wrap the white around the yolk.
Cook the egg for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water and gently blot on a paper towel.
Repeat for the remaining eggs. Poach them in batches as needed.
While the eggs are poaching, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin strips.
Arrange 50 grams of smoked salmon on each plate, alongside the avocado slices.
Place two poached eggs on each plate, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For an optional garnish, place a sprig of fresh dill on top of each serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
