Ingredients

4 smoked salmon slices
4 egg yolks

Instructions

Bring a medium-sized saucepan of water to a simmer over medium heat.
To the water, add white vinegar.
Break the eggs into a small bowl or ramekin and place them in the simmering water.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are runny.
Set the eggs aside after removing them from the water with a slotted spoon.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl.
While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture.
Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on individual plates.

Place a poached egg on top of each smoked salmon slice.
Serve the hollandaise sauce over the eggs right away.
