‘Kedgeree’ eggs royale

Eggs Royale is a classic brunch dish which uses smoked salmon in place of the more common ham (which turns the dish into Eggs Benedict).

‘Kedgeree’ eggs royale
Ingredients
  • 4 Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® eggs
  • 1 dash of white wine vinegar
  • 2 English muffins, halved and toasted
  • 200g of smoked salmon slices
  • finely chopped chives, to garnish
  • lemon zest, to garnish
  • 1 handful of Bombay mix, to garnish
  • 2 Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar
  • 100g of unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 pinch of ground turmeric
  • lemon juice, to taste
Method · 20 min
  1. For the hollandaise, put the egg yolks and vinegar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Whisk until thickened slightly, then very, very slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter while whisking continuously. It should thicken into a smooth emulsion
  2. Remove from the heat then add spices, lemon juice and salt to taste. Keep warm
  3. Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar and create a small whirlpool
  4. Slide in each egg and poach for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon
  5. Layer the toasted muffin halves with smoked salmon
  6. Add a poached egg on top and spoon over the warmed curried hollandaise. Finish with chives, lemon zest and a scattering of Bombay mix

Here, we’ve added a kedgeree-inspired twist, with a spiced hollandaise that pairs really well with the smoky fish. The heart of the dish, however, are the beautiful Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® poached eggs, which should be cooked until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny.

A sprinkle of bombay mix on top adds a pleasant crunch. For the hollandaise, put the egg yolks and vinegar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Whisk until thickened slightly, then very, very slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter while whisking continuously.
