Ingredients
  

For the Benedict

  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

For the Dill Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl. Set over gently simmering water and whisk continuously. Slowly drizzle in melted butter until the sauce becomes thick and silky. Stir in dill, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Keep warm.
  • Toast the English muffins until golden brown and crisp.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it into the water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
  • Place toasted muffin halves on serving plates. Layer smoked salmon over each half. Top with a poached egg.
  • Spoon warm dill hollandaise generously over each egg.
  • Sprinkle with extra fresh dill and capers, if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Fresh dill is essential for a bright herbal finish.

  • Capers add a briny accent that complements the salmon.
  • Fresh eggs poach more cleanly.
  • Lemon wedges enhance the dish just before serving.
  • English muffins provide the classic texture.
  • Serve immediately for the best experience.
