Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon (wild-caught preferred)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (toasted sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, onion flakes, poppy seeds, coarse salt)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or dill, finely chopped for garnish
  • Optional: capers or thinly sliced red onion for extra zing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until lightened in color. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler), ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Slowly drizzle in 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and season with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce if using. Keep warm.
  2. Poach the Eggs: Fill a wide shallow pan with 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional). Crack each egg into a ramekin, then gently slide into simmering water one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly. Use a slotted spoon to lift eggs and drain on paper towels.
  3. Toast the English Muffins until golden and crisp.
  4. Assemble the Eggs Benedict: Place toasted English muffin halves on plates. Layer each with smoked salmon slices, then nestle a poached egg on top. Spoon warm hollandaise generously over each stack.
  5. Finish with Everything Bagel Seasoning: Sprinkle a generous pinch over each serving. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or dill, and optional capers or red onion slices.

Notes

If hollandaise sauce thickens or separates, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to smooth it out. Keep poaching water at a gentle simmer to avoid ragged egg whites. Fresh eggs and a splash of vinegar help achieve perfect poached eggs. Prepare all components before assembly to serve warm. Variations include vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and spicy versions.
