  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • to taste cayenne pepper

Method
 

Preparation of Hollandaise Sauce
  1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens.

  2. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Assembly
  1. Place a slice of toasted English muffin on each plate. Top with slices of smoked salmon and avocado.
  2. Gently place poached eggs on top of the salmon and avocado.
  3. Spoon hollandaise sauce generously over each poached egg.
  4. Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.

Notes

For a shortcut, you can use store-bought hollandaise sauce, but preparing it from scratch adds an authentic touch. Experiment with different types of smoked salmon for varied flavors, such as dill-infused or peppered varieties. Ensure your eggs are as fresh as possible for the best poaching results. If you prefer a non-traditional twist, consider adding a sprinkle of capers or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing. Serve with a side of mixed greens or a light fruit salad to balance the richness of the dish.
