First, start by poaching the eggs. Bring a pot of water with vinegar to a simmer. Gently crack the eggs into the water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

While the eggs are poaching, toast the bread until golden brown.
Next, assemble the eggs benedict by placing a slice of smoked salmon on top of each piece of toast.

Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and place one on top of each salmon-topped toast.
Now, it’s time to make the hollandaise sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the crème fraîche over low heat. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly until the mixture is heated through.
