Instructions
Step 1: Make the Hollandaise Sauce
To make the hollandaise sauce, first, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Then, add the melted butter to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Poach the Eggs
To poach the eggs, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Using a spoon, stir the water in a circular motion to create a whirlpool. Carefully pour each egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook the eggs for 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Step 3: Assemble the Eggs Royale
To assemble the Eggs Royale, place two toasted English muffin halves on each plate. Top each muffin half with a slice of smoked salmon. Place a poached egg on top of each slice of smoked salmon. Spoon hollandaise sauce over each egg. Garnish with fresh parsley.
