poached egg with hot smoked salmon

Poached Duck Egg with Hot Smoked Salmon & Mustard Hollandaise | The Cook Book

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Clarify the butter for the hollandaise by melting it in a small saucepan over a low heat. Spoon off any white froth that comes to the surface, then carefully pour the melted butter into a jug, leaving behind any milky solids at the bottom of the pan.

To make a reduction for the hollandaise, gently simmer the wine and vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to a glaze (it should be around 1-2 tsp), then pour in the double cream and briefly whisk with a balloon whisk. Tip the cream into a small heatproof bowl. Bring two large saucepans of water to a simmer (one for the hollandaise, the other to poach the eggs). Whisk in the egg yolks, then set the bowl over one of the pans of simmering water, making sure the water doesn’t come in contact with the bottom of the bowl. Keep whisking for 2-3 mins until thick and aerated. Ladle the clarified butter into the bowl, whisking as you pour. If your mixture looks a bit greasy, or is thickening too much, add a splash of water. Once all the butter has been incorporated, add the chives, mustard and lemon juice, and keep warm.

Put the salmon on a baking tray in the oven to gently warm through while you poach the eggs. Add a splash of vinegar to the pan of simmering water, give a little swirl, crack the eggs into a cup, then tip into the water, one at a time. Poach the eggs for 3-4 mins. Lift them from the water with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and season.

To serve, dress the watercress in a little rapeseed oil and put on each half of the toasted muffin. Flake over the warm salmon. Lay the poached eggs on top, then spoon over the hollandaise sauce (add a splash of water if it’s thickened).

Whisk together the buttermilk, milk, eggs, agave and oil. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth, then stir in the blueberries. Divide the mixture between the muffin holes and bake for 20 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins, before turning out of the tray. If freezing, defrost at room temperature, then warm through in the oven.

Rudolph Pancakes Recipe | The Cook Book

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Combine the wet ingredients in a jug and gradually pour into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Put 2 tbsp of the batter in a small bowl and mix in a few drops of red food colouring. Transfer to a squeezy bottle.

Put 1/3 of the remaining batter into the other squeezy bottle, and the remaining 2/3 into a jug.

Gently heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan. Squeeze some batter into an outline of Rudolph, drawing two holes for eyes. Fill the rest with batter from the jug. Make a nose using the coloured batter. Cook for 1-2 mins, flip and cook for 1 min more. Repeat to make four pancakes. Serve with icing sugar and maple syrup.

Akoori (Indian Scrambled Eggs) | The Cook Book

Heat a large frying pan over a low-medium heat and add the butter. Gently fry the onion, chilli and garlic until the onion is soft – about 5 mins. Add the spices and cook for 1-2 mins more, stirring around the pan until aromatic. Add the tomatoes, cook for 1 min, then pour in the eggs and lower the heat. Stir slowly to scramble the eggs as they cook, and remove from the heat while they are still a little runny. Continue stirring off the heat for 1 min more until the eggs are just set. Stir through the coriander and serve with chapatis for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
