INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 stick of butter, melted
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • A tablespoons of White wine vinegar
  • A splash of White vinegar
  • Smoked salmon
  • A tablespoon of Lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 2 English muffin slices
  • Water
  • Salt & pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

  1. Melt your butter
  2. In a pan, on the lowest heat setting your stove can handle (or do the fancy double-boiler thing, but I’ve had better results this way), place 2 egg yolks and your white wine vinegar. Whish together
  3. Slowly whisk-in the melted butter. The mixture should become thick and custardy
  4. Mix-in lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Your Hollandaise sauce is now ready.
  5. Get a decently sized pot almost full of water and a splash of white vinegar. Heat to a simmer.
  6. Use a spoon or ladle to stir the water, forming a gentle whirlpool. Add your 2 whole eggs (out of the shell) and poach until the yolks are set.
  7. Toast your English muffin
  8. With the English muffin as a base, top with smoked salmon, poached egg, then finish with Hollandaise.
  9. Fall in to a food coma of ecstasy

    Looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing the recipe too.

    Missing a dash of paprika for the perfect finishing touch or some dill to complement the salmon.

    What you can also do is in a pan slightly reduce the vinegar with a sprig of fresh thyme and a green onion to infuse some extra flavour.

    Also a small spritz of orange juice as an alternative to the lemon works well too.
