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
- In a food processor, combine egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- 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
- Fill a large, shallow pan with water and add white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
- 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.
- Use a slotted spoon to lift the poached eggs from the water and drain on a paper towel.
Putting It Together
- 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.
- Generously spoon Hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives for an extra burst of flavor.
