Ingredients

  • 1 loaf baguette
  • 4 oz smoked salmon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2 equal pieces. Toast the bread cut-side up under a broiler or in a toaster oven until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Fill a medium saucepan with water, add the 1 tbsp white vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small cup, then slide them into the water one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.

  4. 4

    Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

  5. 5

    Spread the herb mayo evenly over the toasted baguette pieces. Divide the 4 oz smoked salmon among the pieces, then top each with a poached egg.

  6. 6

    Season with the remaining salt and pepper, and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve immediately.
