Christmas Morning Eggs Royale
A wonderful breakfast to start the day, and no whisking.
Christmas morning deserves a proper breakfast, but nobody wants to stand at the hob whisking hollandaise. With a jar of ours, all you need to do is poach the eggs.
Serves 4 · Prep 5 mins · Cook 10 mins · On the Day
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 4 eggs
- 200g smoked salmon
- 1 jar Cotswold Gold Hollandaise
- chives
Method
- Our hollandaise keeps in the cupboard until opened, so it's ready to use at room temperature. If your jar is open and in the fridge, take it out an hour before. Don't heat it, as heat will split it.
- Cut the muffins in half and toast them, and poach the eggs.
- Layer muffin, salmon and egg, spoon over the hollandaise and snip over the chives.
Charlie's cheat
A wonderful breakfast with no whisking and no split sauce.
Make it special
Add a handful of wilted spinach under the salmon, swap the muffin for toasted brioche, and serve with a glass of fizz.
Why it works
Our hollandaise is made to be served at room temperature, so there's no heating and no risk of it splitting. That leaves you free to focus on perfectly poached eggs.
Your questions answered
What's the difference between eggs royale and eggs benedict?
Eggs royale uses smoked salmon instead of ham. Everything else, the muffin, poached egg and hollandaise, is the same.
Should I heat the hollandaise?
No. Serve it at room temperature. Heat will split it. If the jar has been opened and is in the fridge, take it out an hour before.
Made with Hollandaise.
