Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocado
- 4 large Eggs
- 200 grams Smoked Salmon
- 125 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 large Egg Yolks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the hollandaise sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set aside.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of water until well combined.
Step 3
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (ensure the bowl does not touch the water). Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume.
Step 4
Remove the bowl from the heat and slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and keep warm.
Step 5
Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel. Cut into thick slices and set aside.
Step 6
Fill a medium saucepan with water, add a tablespoon of white vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 8
Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and briefly drain on paper towels.
Step 9
To assemble, lay the avocado slices on serving plates, top with a slice of smoked salmon.
Step 10
Place a poached egg on top of the salmon, then generously spoon the hollandaise sauce over the egg.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
