Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 8 slices of smoked salmon
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- Hollandaise sauce
- Chopped chives for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large, deep skillet with 2-3 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, toast the English muffins and place 2 halves on each plate. Top each half with a slice of smoked salmon.
- In a separate small saucepan, prepare the Hollandaise sauce according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the white vinegar to the simmering water. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Repeat with the remaining eggs, cooking 2 at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Place 2 poached eggs on top of each smoked salmon-topped English muffin half. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the warm Hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict is a delectable twist on the classic Eggs Benedict, featuring luxurious smoked salmon in place of the traditional Canadian bacon or ham. This dish is believed to have originated in the United States, with some attributing its creation to renowned chef and restaurateur, Chef Charles Ranhofer of Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City in the late 19th century. The rich, buttery hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs complement the smoky, savory flavor of the salmon, creating a harmonious and indulgent brunch favorite. Today, this dish can be found in upscale brunch spots and seafood-centric restaurants, with variations that include dill-infused hollandaise or a sprinkle of capers for added depth of flavor. For the best version of this dish, seek out restaurants known for their expertise in seafood or brunch fare. The key to a stellar Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict lies in the quality of the smoked salmon and the precision of poaching the eggs, ensuring a runny yolk that melds beautifully with the other components. Whether enjoyed at a trendy eatery or prepared at home, this dish is a luxurious treat for any brunch enthusiast.
