Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, preferably free-range and room temperature
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 oz (115g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • Fresh dill, chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Fresh cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is light and slightly thickened (about 1 minute). Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until the sauce is thick and creamy (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, then season with salt and white pepper to …
  2. Toast the English Muffins: Split and toast the muffins until golden and crisp. Set aside on warm plates.
  3. Poach the Eggs: Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional, helps egg whites coagulate). Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on kitchen paper.
  4. Assemble the Eggs Benedict: Place smoked salmon slices evenly over the toasted muffins. Gently top each with a poached egg. Spoon creamy hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs, then sprinkle with everything seasoning and a pinch of fresh dill if using.
  5. Final Touches: Add a crack of black pepper if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

If hollandaise sauce starts to separate, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to bring it back together. Use room temperature eggs for best poaching results. Keep hollandaise warm over barely simmering water or in a thermos until serving. Toast muffins well to avoid sogginess. Variations include swapping smoked salmon for mushrooms or avocado for a vegetarian version, or using gluten-free bread for gluten-free diets.
