Recipe type: Brunch
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 5 ounce piece of smoked salmon, divided in two pieces
  • half an avocado, sliced lengthwise
  • 2 eggs, poached
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp minced chives to garnish
Instructions
  1. Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Meanwhile, crack 1 cold large egg into a small dish or bowl.
  4. Use the handle of a whisk or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
  5. Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan. This 'whirlpool method' only works for 1 or 2 eggs. If you're making a larger batch, do not stir each time you add a new egg.
  6. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and leave for 5 minutes. REALLY leave it for 5 minutes. As in don't lift the cover and peak! This will ruin your poached eggs!
  7. While eggs are poaching, slice avocado and place 3 flat piece of avocado on a plate.
  8. Place a piece of salmon on the avocado.
  9. Using a slotted spoon, remove the poached egg from the sauce pan and place on top of the salmon.
  10. Top with Herbed Crème Fraïche Dressing and minced chives!
  11. Enjoy!
  12. Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alter

Notes
Please use my Herbed Crème Fraïche Dressing to drizzle over the Smoked Salmon Benny. It will not be close to the same without the sauce!
