Eggs Royale (smoked salmon eggs Benedict)
Description
Eggs Royale is a variant of eggs Benedict featuring smoked salmon layered over toasted English muffin halves. The eggs are poached until the whites are set and yolks remain slightly soft. A key aspect is the hollandaise sauce made by blending egg yolks with cayenne pepper, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, then slowly incorporating melted butter for a rich and creamy texture. The sauce is drizzled generously over the assembled plate.
This dish combines the smoky, salty quality of the salmon with the mellow eggs and tangy buttery sauce, delivering a refined flavor. It is best assembled and served immediately to maintain the ideal temperature and texture. The instructions advise careful timing and multitasking to ensure everything is served warm.
Ingredients
- 2 English Muffin
- 4 lices smoked salmon approx, or lox
- 4 egg ½ of them separated
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- 4 tablespoon butter unsalted
Instructions
- Slice the muffins in half to give you two rounds from each and get broiler/grill ready to toast, if using. Heat a pot of water for poaching your eggs and separate your slices of smoked salmon.
- First, start on the hollandaise sauce - put the two separated egg yolks into a blender container along with the cayenne pepper, mustard and lemon juice and blend until smooth.
- Meanwhile, poach your two whole eggs and the leftover whites in slightly salted water until the whites are translucent and the yolks are still slightly soft.
- As the eggs are almost ready, toast your muffins and melt the butter.
- Add the melted butter in a steady pour to the egg yolk mixture, with the blender running the whole time so that it is properly combined.
- Serve it all up - on each plate place the two halves of a muffin with a slice of smoked salmon on top, then a whole egg on one side, the extra white on the other. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top.
Notes
- Plan your steps to prepare components simultaneously ensuring the finished dish remains hot when served.
