How to Make Norwegian Eggs Benedict

  1. Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer (just under a boil). Add 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
  2. Gently crack 2 large eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl. Create a gentle swirl in the simmering water to create a vortex.
  3. Carefully slip each egg into the swirling water.
  4. Simmer for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  5. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. While the eggs poach, toast your bread to your desired level of crispness.
  7. Layer 1 cup of chopped spinach and 4 ounces of thinly sliced smoked salmon on each slice of toast.
  8. Top each slice of toast with a perfectly poached egg.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Drizzle generously with ½ cup of prepared hollandaise sauce.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Norwegian Eggs Benedict!
