Ingredients
2-3 VIČI herring fillet
4 breakfast buns
Butter
8 eggs
Salt and pepper
125 g. butter
2 eggs yolks
½ tsp white wine vinegar
½ lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Preparation
1
Cut the herring into small pieces. Add the butter to the buns and bake in an oven or toaster.
2
Boil the eggs without shell (choose the method that is most convenient for you) - about 3 minutes for liquid yolk.
3
Melt 125 g. butter in a saucepan. Keep the butter warm.
4
Put 2 egg yolks, ½ tsp white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and a splash of ice-cold water in a metal or glass bowl that will fit over a small pan. Whisk for a few minutes then put the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk continuously until pale and thick, about 3-5 minutes.
5
Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the melted butter, bit by bit until it’s all incorporated and you have a creamy hollandaise (if it gets too thick, add a splash of water). Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little pepper. Keep warm until needed.
6
Put the bun into plate, add a few pieces of herring, put the poached egg and hollandaise sauce on top.
7
Sprinkle with crushed pepper and decorate with some greens!
