Hollandaise Sauce

Instructions

  • Make the Hollandaise Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and white wine vinegar.
  • Add the egg yolks and whisk until light and frothy.
  • Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom doesn’t touch the water, and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Gradually add the diced butter, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  • Season to taste and keep warm.
  • Poach the Eggs: Bring a large pan of water to a gentle boil and add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
  • Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir the water to create a slight whirlpool and carefully slide each egg into the center, one at a time.
  • Poach for about 4 minutes or until the whites are set but yolks remain soft.
  • Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain.
  • Assemble: Lightly toast and butter the English muffin halves.
  • Top each half with 2 slices of smoked salmon, a poached egg, and a generous spoonful of Hollandaise sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
