English Muffin Topped With Tarragon Egg And Smoked Salmon Food

ENGLISH MUFFIN TOPPED WITH TARRAGON EGG AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Put the eggs and milk in a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
• Brush a medium non-stick frying pan with the oil and heat on meadium and then add egg mixture and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, for 3 to 4 minutes or until egg is almost set and remove the pan from the heat.
• Put a muffin half on each plate top each with rocket leaves, egg, tarragon leaves and salmon and season with pepper and then add the remaining muffin halves to serve.
• Accompany the muffin with the milk, if you like.
• If you wish to lower the salt content omit the salmon and this will reduce the sodium count from 541.4 to 370.4.

SPINACH & SMOKED SALMON EGG MUFFINS

Steps:

• To make the hollandaise, sit a large bowl over a pan of hot water and whisk the egg yolks with 2 tbsp hot water. Gradually add the melted butter (without adding the milky liquid at the bottom) until it has all been incorporated. Whisk in the lemon juice and season with the cayenne pepper and salt to taste, then set aside.
• Heat a shallow pan of water with the vinegar but no salt until gently boiling, then poach the eggs for 2 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool in cold water.
• Fry the spinach in a wok with a knob of butter until wilted, then drain and season.
• To serve, heat the grill to high. Lay the muffins on a flat roasting tray, cut-side up, then toast until brown. Butter the muffins lightly, then top each with a ruffle of smoked salmon. Divide the spinach between the muffins, leaving a slight dip in the middle to sit the eggs in. Spoon a quarter of the sauce over each egg, then return the tray under the grill to brown for a min. Serve immediately.

SMOKED SALMON EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Mash up hard boiled eggs in a bowl.
• Add salmon, mayo, dijon mustard and salt & pepper, and mix well.
• Toast 1/2 a bagel, and spread egg salad on top. A tasty way to toast the bagel for this too is to spread a bit of butter on the inside, and fry in a pan. MMMMMM :).

ENGLISH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the milk, yeast mixture, shortening and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add salt and rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise.
• Punch down. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can. Sprinkle waxed paper with cornmeal and set the rounds on this to rise. Dust tops of muffins with cornmeal also. Cover and let rise 1/2 hour.
• Heat greased griddle. Cook muffins on griddle about 10 minutes on each side on medium heat. Keep baked muffins in a warm oven until all have been cooked. Allow to cool and place in plastic bags for storage. To use, split and toast. Great with orange butter, or cream cheese and jam.
