Ingredients

• 2 whole English muffins
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives

Directions

Step 1

Toast the English muffins until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the hollandaise sauce by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks to the bowl and whisk continuously along with 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar until the mixture is pale and thickened.

Step 4

Gradually add melted butter in a slow stream while whisking until the sauce is thick and creamy.

Step 5

Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the hollandaise sauce. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

To poach the eggs, bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and add the remaining tablespoon of white wine vinegar.

Step 7

Crack an egg into a small cup, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

Step 8

Poach each egg for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set, and the yolks remain soft.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and place them on paper towels to drain.

Step 10

To assemble the Eggs Royale, place each toasted English muffin half on a serving plate.

Step 11

Layer slices of smoked salmon on each muffin half.

Step 12

Top each with a poached egg and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
