Steps:
- Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, peppercorns, and shallot. Place over medium-high heat; cook until almost all the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water; reduce heat to low.
- Add yolks; whisk until thickened, about 4 minutes. Turn off heat; whisk in the butter until fully incorporated and the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Strain sauce into a medium heat-proof bowl; discard solids. Stir in dill. Keep bearnaise warm over very gently simmering water, whisking occasionally.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Reduce heat under saucepan to medium, so water is just simmering. Break one egg at a time into a small heat-proof bowl. Gently tip bowl into water; carefully slide in egg. Repeat until all eggs are in saucepan.
- When first eggs become opaque, begin to remove them with a slotted spoon, in the order in which they were added. This process should take about 3 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the dish of warm water.
- Divide salmon into 8 portions; place each over a half of a toasted crumpet. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from warm water; set the spoon, with the egg inside, briefly on a clean cloth to drain. Gently place 1 egg on each crumpet; spoon dill bearnaise over the top. Serve two crumpet halves to each person, and garnish with snipped dill.
SMOKED SALMON SANDWICH WITH POACHED EGG
This is a great smoked salmon sandwich recipe I had created myself. The savory salmon, the smooth yoke of the egg, and the acidic vinegar evens out all the flavors, making it one of my favorite sandwiches to make. It is great for a lunch or a small dinner. You get the protein and the flavor which I love!

Steps:
- Fill a large saucepan with water, 1 1/2 inches below the rim. Put the pan on the stove over high heat until it reaches about 190 degrees F (88 degrees C) or until you start to see bubbles at the bottom of the pan. Pour white vinegar and salt into the water and stir to distribute. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Crack egg into a custard cup. Carefully place the custard cup into the water and slowly tilt until egg is fully submerged, being careful egg does not fall into the water. Set a timer for 6 minutes and keep an eye on the egg as it cooks.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour balsamic vinegar onto a flat plate and lay 1 piece of bread in the vinegar until coated. Repeat to coat the remaining piece. Place both pieces, vinegar-side down, in the hot skillet and cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Remove 1 piece bread to a plate, vinegar-side up. Top with garlic powder, pepper, and salmon. Carefully remove poached egg with a slotted spoon and place on top of smoked salmon. Top with remaining piece of bread, vinegar-side down.

EGGS BENEDICT FOR TWO - WITH SMOKED SALMON
I absolutely adore poached eggs on toast so for me Eggs Benedict is really something to enjoy. If you have a toaster that will accommodate split muffins, feel free to toast them in that instead of under the grill. As I don't eat ham / prosciutto, I make my Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon which also adds a lovely elegant touch in my opinion. Save this recipe for special days such as birthdays & anniversaries, better still drop hints for someone else to make it for you :wink:

Steps:
- Heat the grill / broiler. Put a large pan of water to boil over a high heat. As soon as the water starts boiling, reduce heat so the water is just simmering.
- Poach the eggs: crack one egg into a cup and gently slip the egg into the water. Place the 3 remaining eggs into the water using the same cup method, making sure to keep the eggs away from each other. Immediately turn the heat down to it's lowest setting & time the eggs for 3 minutes.
- Split the muffins & toast under the grill / or in a toaster.
- Make the Hollandaise: Heat the butter in a small pan or in the microwave, until it is bubbling & totally liquid. Do not let the butter brown.
- Crack the remaining eggs into a blender, put the lid on & leave the spout / hole open. Start the blender & pour the butter through the spout / hole in a steady stream - this will thicken the eggs. Add the lemon juice & season well to your taste with freshly milled blackk pepper & salt.
- Place the split muffins on 2 plates ( 2 half muffins on each plate).
- Top the muffin halves with the smoked salmon.
- Drain the poached eggs & place one on each muffin half.
- Spoon a little hollandaise sauce over each egg & serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cut off stems of artichokes flush with bottoms; discard. Using kitchen scissors, trim outer 3 layers of leaves to 2 inches.
- Fill a large stockpot with 2 inches of water. Set a steamer basket over water. Stand artichokes upright in basket; cover pot. Bring to a boil. Steam until bottoms of artichokes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Remove artichokes from pot; let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard inner leaves, leaving trimmed outer leaves to create a flowerlike shape. Using a teaspoon, remove fuzzy choke and any purple leaves; discard. Gently spread apart artichoke leaves to create desired appearance. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Fill a large saucepan with 4 inches of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. When water is barely simmering, break 1 egg into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl to slide egg carefully into water in pan. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out eggs with a slotted spoon; briefly rest spoon on paper towels to drain eggs.
- Immediately spoon 1 egg inside each artichoke (be careful not to pierce yolk). Spoon about 1 tablespoon hollandaise sauce over top of each egg. Drape 1 slice salmon on top. Serve with hollandaise.
Tips:
- For perfectly poached eggs, use the freshest eggs possible and bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding them.
- To prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan, add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the water.
- To make the tarragon béarnaise, use fresh tarragon leaves and make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces.
- To assemble the dish, place the poached eggs on top of the smoked salmon and spoon the tarragon béarnaise over the top.
- Garnish with additional tarragon leaves and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Conclusion:
This classic dish is a delicious and elegant way to start your day. The poached eggs are perfectly cooked, the smoked salmon is rich and flavorful, and the tarragon béarnaise adds a touch of sophistication. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish is sure to impress.
