Smoked Salmon Avocado Eggs Benedict
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 8 slices of smoked salmon
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- Hollandaise sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large, deep skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, toast the English muffins and top each half with a slice of smoked salmon and a few slices of avocado.
- In a separate small saucepan, prepare the Hollandaise sauce according to package instructions or your preferred recipe, and keep warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the water is simmering, add the white vinegar to the skillet.

- Place two poached eggs on top of each prepared English muffin half.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the warm Hollandaise sauce over the eggs.

The history of Avocado Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon is a modern twist on the classic Eggs Benedict. This dish originated in the coastal regions of California, where fresh avocados and smoked salmon are abundant. Renowned chefs in trendy brunch spots in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles began experimenting with this variation, adding a creamy slice of avocado and delicate smoked salmon to the traditional poached egg and hollandaise sauce. The combination of rich, buttery avocado and the smoky flavor of the salmon adds a luxurious and indulgent touch to the dish. Today, this delectable variation can be found in popular brunch spots across the country, with each chef adding their own unique flair to the recipe. For the best version of this dish, sourcing high-quality smoked salmon and perfectly ripe avocados is crucial. The creamy texture of the avocado and the smoky, salty flavor of the salmon are the key elements that elevate this dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.
