A recipe for poached eggs, hollandaise, with avocado and an English muffin. This recipe is written to serve two people two eggs. However the recipe can easily be increased to serve more people. Additionally, the hollandaise recipewritten as is will serve more than two people.
Ingredients
Hollandaise Sauce
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 4 oz butter
Poached Eggs
  • water
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon vinegar
Other Sandwich Materials
  • 2 English Muffins
  • 8 slices smoked salmon (or to taste)
  • 16 slices of avocado (or to taste)
  • red pepper flakes
Instructions
  1. Start with the hollandaise sauce. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper into a blender.
  2. Cut the butter into small pieces and place into a small saucepan. Heat on medium until the butter is hot and foaming. Remove from heat.
  3. Turn the blender on high and blend for two seconds.
  4. While the blender is still on, open the top (if you don't have a small opening on your blender, use a towel to cover the top a little bit) and pour the hot butter into the egg mixture drop by drop. [Note: I wasn't coordinated enough to pour drop by drop but I could pour a tiny stream at a time. This made the sauce a bit runnier, but it was still tasty.]
  5. Taste the sauce and blend in more seasoning if needed. Set aside.
  6. Put about 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil.
  7. Add the salt and vinegar to the water, then lower the heat so the water is just simmering.
  8. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Bring the edge of the bowl to the top of the water and gently slide the eggs in. Cook for 3-5 minutes. The longer you cook the more solid the yolk.
  9. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon. Bring the water back to a low simmer then repeat the above step with the last two eggs.
  10. While the eggs are cooking, cut the English muffins in half and toast them to your liking.
  11. Take two plates and put both sides of one English muffin on each plate.
  12. Put 2 slices of smoked salmon on top of each English muffin half.
  13. Put 4 slices of avocado on top of the salmon.
  14. Place one poached egg on top of the avocado.
  15. Using a spoon, drizzle hollandaise sauce on top of the egg.
  16. Sprinkle a generous pinch of red pepper flakes on top of the hollandaise.
  17. Serve immediately so the eggs will still be warm.
