Instructions
 

  • Remove eggs from fridge 10 to 15 minutes before you're ready to cook.
    Then, crack the eggs into small individual ramekins; set aside.
  • In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil; that is, once the water starts boiling, lower the heat a little so the water is gently boiling, but not boiling over.
  • Salt the water.
  • Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.
  • Using a spoon, start stirring the boiling water in a large circular motion.The circular motion will help the eggs to stay intact.
  • Now, carefully and slowly drop one egg into the swirling water and cook for about 2 minutes; remove the egg with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
    For a prettier presentation, trim excess cooked egg white. Lightly dab the eggs dry with a paper towel.
  • You can poach more than one egg at a time, but do not crowd the pot.
  • Cut the English muffins in half and toast to desired doneness.
  • Place the halves of the English muffins on a plate, face up.
  • Add a slice or two of smoked salmon to each half.
  • Top with a poached egg.
  • Add warm Hollandaise sauce over the egg and garnish with chives.
  • Serve immediately.
