“Buttery brioche, golden yolks, and velvet hollandaise — the art of sunrise indulgence.”

🧾 Recipe Overview

  • Base: House-made toasted brioche or artisan English muffin, buttery and light
  • Eggs: Slow-poached with runny golden yolks
  • Hollandaise: Silky, tangy sauce infused with subtle yuzu and smoked paprika notes
  • Protein: Choice of premium smoked salmon, heritage ham, or wild mushroom ragout (vegetarian)
  • Garnishes: Microgreens, edible flowers, toasted crushed pistachios, and fresh chives

🍴 Preparation Ritual

  1. Slice and lightly toast brioche or English muffin halves until golden and crisp on edges.
  2. Poach eggs gently in simmering water with a splash of vinegar until whites are set but yolks remain runny (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Prepare hollandaise by emulsifying egg yolks with melted butter, lemon juice, yuzu zest, and smoked paprika until smooth and velvety.
  4. Warm smoked salmon or pan-sear heritage ham slices; for vegetarian, sauté wild mushrooms with garlic and thyme until tender.
  5. Assemble: place protein on toasted bread, top with poached eggs, then lavish with hollandaise sauce.
  6. Garnish with microgreens, edible flowers, crushed pistachios, and a sprinkle of fresh chives for color and crunch.
  7. Prepare side salad by tossing watercress and citrus segments with a light lemon-olive oil vinaigrette.
  8. Serve immediately, inviting slow savoring of rich textures and bright flavors.
