Ingredients
- 0.5 Firm ripe avocado (Use half an avocado as the base, keeping it whole and firm.)
- 60 g Starch-free turkey ham (Alternatively, use a similar amount of smoked salmon.)
- 1 Egg (For poaching.)
- 1 L Water (Approximate amount, enough to poach the egg.)
- 1 tbsp White vinegar (A splash for the poaching water.)
- 2 Egg yolks (For the hollandaise sauce.)
- 0.5 Lemon (Squeeze to obtain the juice.)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 60 g Clarified butter (Melted slowly.)
- Black pepper (To taste, for garnishing.)
- Paprika (To taste, for garnishing.)
Steps
- 1
Prepare the base by placing half a ripe, firm, peeled avocado on the plate, with the cavity facing upward or positioned securely.
- 2
Place the starch-free turkey ham or smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
- 3
Bring enough water to a boil in a saucepan and add a splash of white vinegar.
- 4
When the water boils, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir the water with a spoon to create a whirlpool.
- 5
Crack the egg into the center of the whirlpool and cook it for exactly 3 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk remains completely runny.
- 6
Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and drain it briefly to remove excess water.
- 7
Place the poached egg on top of the avocado and turkey ham or smoked salmon.
- 8
For the hollandaise, melt the clarified butter slowly and keep it warm, without letting it smoke.
- 9
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the two egg yolks with the juice of half a lemon and the Dijon mustard over a very low-heat bain-marie.
- 10
Gradually add the clarified butter in a thin stream while whisking continuously. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
- 11
Pour the hollandaise sauce over the poached egg.
- 12
Finish with black pepper and paprika to taste, and serve immediately while the yolk and sauce are hot and fluid.
