Steps
Ensamblaje inicial
Prepare the base by placing half a ripe, firm, peeled avocado on the plate, with the cavity facing upward or positioned securely.
Place the starch-free turkey ham or smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
Huevo pochado
Bring enough water to a boil in a saucepan and add a splash of white vinegar.
When the water boils, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir the water with a spoon to create a whirlpool.
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.
Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and drain it briefly to remove excess water.
Montaje
Place the poached egg on top of the avocado and turkey ham or smoked salmon.
Salsa holandesa
For the hollandaise, melt the clarified butter slowly and keep it warm, without letting it smoke.
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.
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.
Pour the hollandaise sauce over the poached egg.
Terminación
Finish with black pepper and paprika to taste, and serve immediately while the yolk and sauce are hot and fluid.
Notes
The post states that the recipe contains no bread, flour, starch, or added sugar. The turkey ham must be starch-free. The claim that the recipe will not affect blood glucose does not replace individual assessment: people with diabetes should consider their personal needs and monitor their blood glucose.
