Poached Egg and Smoked Salmon

on

Toasted Turkish bread

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

10 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

4 eggs, at room temperature

1/2 Turkish loaf, cut into quarters, toasted

50g baby rocket leaves

8 slices smoked salmon

Dill sprigs, to serve

Dill hollandaise

1 tbs white wine vinegar, plus extra for poaching eggs

4 black peppercorns

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 egg yolk

100g unsalted butter, melted

2 tsp lemon juice

1 tbs finely chopped dill

Method

(1) To make the dill hollandaise, combine the vinegar, peppercorns and shallot in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until vinegar reduces by half. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve.

(2) Place the vinegar mixture and egg yolk in a medium heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water. Use a balloon whisk to whisk while gradually adding the melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking until thick and creamy. Add the lemon juice and dill; taste and season with salt and pepper.

(3) Add extra vinegar to a deep frying pan filled with water and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce to low and bring to a simmer. Crack an egg into a small cup. Use a large spoon to stir the water to create a whirlpool. Gently slide the egg into the water and poach for 1-2 minutes for a soft poached egg or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.

(4) Place the Turkish toast on serving plates. Top with rocket leaves, salmon slices, poached eggs and a dill sprig. Spoon over hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
