Ingredients
Scale
4 large eggs
2 English muffins
4 oz smoked salmon
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Capers (optional)
Fresh dill or chives (optional)
Avocado slices (optional)
Microgreens (for garnish)
Purple radish slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the hollandaise: In a saucepan, melt the butter and set it aside. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until it’s pale and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast the muffins: Split your English muffins in half and toast them until they’re golden brown and a little crispy.
Poach the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer it firmer. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel.
Assemble: Place your toasted muffin halves on a plate, layer with smoked salmon, and top each muffin with a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs.
Garnish and serve: Add any optional toppings and serve immediately.
