15 minutes
2 servings

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices  Hot Honey Cold Smoked Salmon (room temperature)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4 thick slices beefsteak tomato (scoop out the centers)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (wilted and kept warm)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh snipped chives, for garnish
  • Your favorite hollandaise sauce (prepared and warm)

Instructions

  1. Poach the Eggs:
    In a medium saucepan, bring 3 quarts of water to a gentle boil. Add the apple cider vinegar and reduce to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Cook for 4–6 minutes, until softly poached. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  2. Prepare the Base:
    While the eggs cook, toss the warm wilted spinach with lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Place tomato slices on each plate and top with the seasoned spinach to create a soft base.
  3. Assemble the Benedict:
    Layer the cold smoked salmon on top of the spinach. Carefully place one poached egg on each portion.
  4. Finish and Serve:
    Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with snipped chives. Serve right away for best flavor and texture.
