INGREDIENTS
3 large eggs
2 egg whites
1 extra egg yolk (for hollandaise)
2 ounces smoked salmon
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
PREPARATION
Fill a wide, shallow saucepan with water and heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Add a pinch of salt.
Crack the 3 whole eggs into individual small bowls to ensure smooth poaching. Swirl the simmering water gently and carefully slide each egg into the water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a warm plate.
In a small heatproof bowl, add the extra egg yolk, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (double boiler method). Whisk continuously to gently warm the yolk.
Slowly drizzle in the melted unsalted butter while whisking vigorously, creating a silky hollandaise sauce. Once the sauce has emulsified and thickened slightly, remove the bowl from heat, stir in the chopped mixed fresh herbs, and season with freshly ground pepper.
Arrange the poached eggs on a serving plate. Drizzle the fresh herb hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
Artfully place the smoked salmon around or on top of the eggs. Garnish with a sprinkle of additional herbs and a light crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.
