Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
No need to overpay for restaurant eggs benedict anymore. This homemade version is easy, tastier, and so much cheaper!
I made these smoked salmon eggs benedict a couple of weeks ago and it has been one of the best homemade breakfasts that I’ve had in a while. The flavors were wonderfully balanced from the salty smoked salmon to the bright hollandaise flavors and the fresh avocado slices. Plus they’re a cinch to whip up, making it a perfect breakfast/brunch dish when you have guests over!
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 slices smoked salmon
- 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and sliced
- 2 poached eggs, for serving
For the hollandaise sauce
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- To make the hollandaise, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne and salt in a blender until pale yellow in color, about 30-60 seconds. With the motor running, add the butter in a slow stream until emulsified.
- To assemble the eggs benedict, place the sliced smoked salmon on each English muffin. Top with the sliced avocado and poached egg, drizzling the tops with hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.

Made this for my hubby’s birthday lunch! Amazing! Considering he is the chef in the family, I did a great job 🙂 Only thing I did differently, was use a package Hollandaise sauce mix. Also, added a side of asparagus! sooo good! Thanks!
I made this recipe 2 days in a row. Incredibly delicious!
I put some capers on top and sprinkled red chilli flakes….hmm, yum!
Thank you!!!
