Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water, ensuring it doesn't touch the top pan. Bring to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Gradually add melted butter, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, whisking constantly until fully emulsified and smooth. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. (Approximately 10-15 minutes)

02

Step

Poach the Eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip it into the simmering water, holding the bowl close to the surface. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are thickened but still soft, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.

03

Step

Assemble the Benedict: While the eggs are poaching, toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread each half with softened butter. (Approximately 5 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon. Gently dab them on a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Place the toasted and buttered English muffin halves on two plates. Top each half with smoked salmon, followed by a poached egg. Generously spoon Hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh dill or chives to the finished dish.
If the Hollandaise sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Ensure the water is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, when poaching the eggs for the best results.

    I've made Eggs Benedict before, but this Smoked Salmon version is by far the best! The combination of flavors is incredible, and it's surprisingly simple to make.
