The combination of salmon, Hollandaise sauce, and poached eggs is delicious. Start your day on a decadent note with this luxurious breakfast recipe.

Ingredients:

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter
  • Salt

Poached Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt

Salmon And Bread

  • 4 slices of smoked salmon
  • 4 English muffins
  • Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. In a food processor, combine egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
  2. While the food processor is running, slowly stream in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper. Keep the Hollandaise warm.

Poached Eggs

  1. Fill a large, shallow pan with water and add white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
  2. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool. Poach for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to lift the poached eggs from the water and drain on a paper towel.

Putting It Together

  1. Place a toasted English muffin on each plate. Butter each muffin and top with half a slice of smoked salmon. Carefully place a poached egg on each salmon-covered muffin.
  2. Generously spoon Hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs.
  3. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for an extra burst of flavor.
