Method
Step 1
To make the hollandaise sauce, combine the egg yolks and 2 tbs water in a heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Use a balloon whisk to whisk for 3 mins or until pale and creamy and the mixture has doubled in volume. Add the butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and season with pepper to taste. Cover the surface with plastic wrap.
Step 2
Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer over high heat. Add the vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a whirlpool. Pour the egg into the centre of the whirlpool and cook, without stirring, for 3 mins for a runny yolk or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with the remaining eggs.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Season.
Step 4
Divide toast among serving plates. Top with avocado mixture, spinach, salmon and eggs. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with chives. Season with pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
*A runny yolk is considered to be a raw egg. We recommend that pregnant women, young children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems do not consume raw egg.
