A luxurious yet easy-to-make eggs royal recipe featuring silky hollandaise, perfectly poached eggs, and smoky smoked salmon, perfect for Easter brunch or special mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (fresh, free-range or organic preferred)
  • 6–8 oz (170-225g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 3 large egg yolks (separated from whites)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh dill or chives, capers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter gently and keep warm. In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler setup), whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water continuously until thickened and doubled in volume (3-4 minutes). Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking vigorously until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and white pepper. Keep warm over very low heat.
  2. Poach the eggs: Fill a wide skillet or saucepan with 3-4 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into simmering water one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or 5 minutes for firmer yolks. Use a slotted spoon to lift eggs, shaking off excess water.
  3. Assemble the eggs royal: Toast or warm English muffins or brioche slices if desired. Layer smoked salmon slices on each muffin half or plate. Place a poached egg on top. Spoon warm hollandaise generously over the eggs. Garnish with fresh dill, chives, and capers if using.
  4. Serve immediately while warm and silky.

Notes

[‘Keep hollandaise warm but not hot to avoid scrambling.’, ‘Use fresh eggs for best poaching results.’, ‘Maintain water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil.’, ‘Hollandaise can be made up to 30 minutes ahead and kept warm.’, ‘If hollandaise breaks, whisk in a teaspoon of cold water or lemon juice off heat to re-emulsify.’, ‘Substitute smoked salmon with smoked trout or ham for variation.’, ‘Serve with English muffins or brioche; gluten-free bread can be used as an alternative.’]
