Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Crumpets
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to handle them more easily during poaching.
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool to help the whites wrap around the yolk. Repeat with the other eggs, cooking no more than 2 at a time.
Poach each egg for about 3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Toast the crumpets until golden and warm. Place 2 crumpets on each serving plate.
Top each crumpet with slices of smoked salmon, dividing the salmon evenly across the crumpets.
Gently place a poached egg on top of the smoked salmon on each crumpet.
Drizzle a tablespoon of hollandaise sauce over each poached egg.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Poached Egg and Smoked Salmon Crumpets!
