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). 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. It should thicken into a smooth emulsion
Remove from the heat then add spices, lemon juice and salt to taste. Keep warm
Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar and create a small whirlpool
Slide in each egg and poach for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon
Layer the toasted muffin halves with smoked salmon
Add a poached egg on top and spoon over the warmed curried hollandaise. Finish with chives, lemon zest and a scattering of Bombay mix
