Ingredients
- 4 poached eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 English muffins
- 4 to 8 slices smoked salmon
- ½ cup Hollandaise Sauce, warmed
- Chopped fresh Chives
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.
