A quick and easy brunch recipe featuring silky smoked salmon, perfectly poached eggs, and a sticky sweet maple glaze on toasted English muffins. This dish offers a smoky-sweet twist on classic eggs benedict that’s both indulgent and fresh.

Ingredients

Scale
  • English muffins, split and toasted
  • Thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • Fresh large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Fresh dill or chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon (15 g) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  2. Toast the English muffins until golden and slightly crispy. Optionally brush with melted butter before toasting for extra flavor.
  3. Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white wine vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain soft. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs and drain on a paper towel.
  4. Lay smoked salmon slices flat on a plate and spoon the maple glaze evenly over them, letting the glaze soak in for a minute.
  5. Assemble the benedict: Place toasted English muffin halves on plates. Top each with glazed smoked salmon slices, then gently place a poached egg on top. Spoon any remaining glaze over the eggs.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh dill or chives and finish with a light grind of black pepper. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best poaching results. Add a pinch of cayenne to the glaze for a spicy twist. For gluten-free, substitute English muffins with gluten-free bread or bagels. Keep poached eggs warm in a bowl of warm water while assembling. Reheat leftovers gently in a low oven to avoid overcooking.
