- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 Tabasco sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Prepare

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden. Place two muffin halves on each of four plates.
-
Step 2.
Top each English muffin half with about 1 ounce (a quarter of the 1 pound) of smoked salmon, dividing evenly among the 8 halves.
-
Step 3.
Poach 8 eggs until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Place one poached egg on top of each salmon-topped muffin half.
-
Step 4.
In a blender, combine 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 2 dashes Tabasco sauce, ½ teaspoon ground white pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter until hot and bubbling, then with the blender running on low, slowly pour the hot melted butter into the blender in a steady stream. Continue blending until the sauce is thick and emulsified, about 30 seconds.

Step 5.
Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over each poached egg. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and coarse black pepper. Serve immediately.
