Print Recipe Pin Recipe Rate Recipe

Servings: servings

Ingredients

¾ cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 egg yolks
½ teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
8 eggs
8 slices rye bread
8 ounces smoked salmon cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
1 teaspoon capers for garnish

Instructions

To make the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper and hot sauce. Cook over simmering water while stirring constantly, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
In a large stock pot heat 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Carefully break the eggs one at a time into the boiling water. When all the eggs have been added, reduce the heat to medium. When the eggs float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly.
To assemble final dish: Toast bread slices and place on warm plates. Top each piece of toast with a slice of smoked salmon and a hot poached egg. Drizzle with yogurt sauce; garnish with parsley and capers.
