Ingredients

• 2 pieces gluten-free English muffins
• 4 slices smoked salmon
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 pieces egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 150°F (65°C) to keep the salmon warm after toasting the muffins.

Step 2

Slice the gluten-free English muffins in half and toast them to your preferred level of crispiness. Place in the oven to keep warm.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide each egg into the water, cooking for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and yolks remain soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, ensuring it does not brown. Once melted, remove from heat.

Step 5

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice until frothy. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the melted butter into the egg mixture, a few drops at a time at first, then in a small steady stream, whisking constantly until the sauce is thickened and creamy. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

Step 7

Place two toasted muffin halves on each plate. Top each half with a slice of smoked salmon.

Step 8

Carefully place a poached egg on top of the salmon.

Step 9

Spoon hollandaise sauce generously over each egg.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
