How to Make Poached Eggs And Smoked Salmon With Tarragon Bearnaise

  1. **Make the Blender Tarragon Bearnaise:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 shallot (finely minced), 4 black peppercorns, and a pinch of salt. Simmer over low heat until reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Strain the wine reduction through a fine-mesh sieve, let it cool, and set aside.
  3. In a blender, combine 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon water, a dash of hot sauce (to taste), and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
  4. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Blend until the sauce thickens.
  5. If the sauce isn't thick enough, blend for another 20 seconds.
  6. Add the reserved wine reduction to taste and blend to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh tarragon, finely chopped, and blend briefly until just combined.
  8. Keep the bearnaise warm by submerging the blender jar in a bowl of warm water.
  9. **Poach the Eggs:** Poach 2 eggs per person following your preferred method (e.g., using an egg poacher).
  10. **Assemble the Dish:** Toast 2 crumpet halves per person.
  11. Top each crumpet half with a slice of smoked salmon.
  12. Place a poached egg on top of the salmon.
  13. Generously spoon the tarragon bearnaise sauce over the eggs and salmon.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
