Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Set aside.
Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water to help keep the egg whites together during poaching.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the melted unsalted butter in a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking until the hollandaise sauce thickens. Season with a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place a slice of smoked salmon on each toasted English muffin half.
Top the smoked salmon with a poached egg.
Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over each egg.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
