How to Make Donald Trump Elegant Eggs Benedict

  1. Fill a large skillet halfway with water (about 4 cups). Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small heatproof bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.
  3. In a small saucepan, cook the egg yolk mixture over very low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or to taste). Keep warm.
  6. Gently crack 4 large eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the poached eggs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  7. Toast 4 English muffins halves until golden brown.
  8. Set aside 1/4 cup of sliced smoked salmon for garnish.
  9. Arrange the remaining smoked salmon on the toasted muffin halves.
  10. Top each muffin with a poached egg.
  11. Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs.
  12. Garnish with the reserved smoked salmon and fresh parsley (optional).
