Instructions
Creating Smoked Salmon Dill Eggs Benedict can be simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: If making from scratch, use a double boiler to gently whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and melted butter until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Toast the English Muffins: While preparing the sauce, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.
3. Poach the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but yolks remain soft.
4. Assemble the Benedict: On each toasted muffin half, place a slice of smoked salmon. Top with a poached egg and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh dill sprigs if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
