Indulge in a delectable poached egg and salmon on Turkish bread; perfect for breakfast or lunch.
Ingredients:
  • 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
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar, plus extra for poaching eggs
  • 4 black peppercorns
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped dill
Instructions:
  • Create a fragrant dill hollandaise by simmering vinegar, peppercorns, and shallot on low heat until vinegar reduces by half (about 1-2 minutes). Strain through a fine sieve for a smooth finish.
  • In a bowl, combine the vinegar mixture and egg yolk. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk constantly while slowly pouring in the melted butter until thick and creamy. Stir in the lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Pour more vinegar into a deep frying pan filled with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low for a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small cup. Swirl the water with a large spoon. Carefully drop the egg into the water and poach for 1-2 minutes for a soft poached egg or until desired doneness. Lift out with a slotted spoon onto a plate. Repeat for the rest of the eggs.
  • Assemble the Turkish toast on serving plates by layering rocket leaves, salmon slices, poached eggs, and a dill sprig. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve promptly.
