Hollandaise sauce
Instructions
Poached eggs
- First, prepare your poached eggs. Fill 2/3 of a medium saucepan up with water and bring water to a light boil. Once lightly, boiling, reduce heat to to just simmering and add in the vinegar. Crack eggs into individual ramekins and add eggs to the saucepan one-at-a-time, sliding them into the water.
- Once all the eggs are in the water, remove the saucepan from heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 4 minutes and then remove the eggs onto a plate with paper towel to dry off.
Hollandaise sauce
- Next make the hollandaise sauce. Place egg yolks, salt and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl.
- Melt butter in the microwave and cool it for a minute. Add butter to the mixing bowl and blend the mixture until it is thick and creamy (this should only take around 30 seconds).
Assembly
- Toast the pita bread and plate for serving.
- Divide spinach leaves between the 4 pitas and lay them on top.
- Next, place a poached egg on top of the spinach on each pita, and lay a piece of smoked salmon on top of that.
- Pour on hollandaise sauce (to taste). It is likely you'll have some left over.
- Finally, drizzle on some creamy balsamic dressing to give your dish an extra touch of flavor.
Tips
- Store extra hollandaise sauce refrigerated in an air-tight container. You can use the spare sauce on eggs during the week, or even on roasted asparagus or broccoli.
