Smoked Salmon Breakfast With Poached Eggs (High Protein)
I love this breakfast with salmon and eggs! It is one of my all time favorite high protein PCOS breakfasts. It's ready in 20 minutes, full of flavor and leaves you feeling ready to face the day.
Ingredients
- 2 TBS Large eggs (poached)
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 3 oz (80g) Smoked salmon slices
- ½ cup Shelled edamame beans (boiled or steamed)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full fat for extra protein)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 TBS Olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon Mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 Garlic clove
- Zest of ½ lemon or lime
- 1 TBS Fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 2 TBS Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- Microherbs, for garnish (optional)
- Pinch of salt & black pepper
Instructions
Infuse The Oil
- Heat the olive (or avocado) oil in a small pan over medium heat and add the garlic clove and lemon zest. Cook for a minute.
- Remove from heat, discard the garlic clove. Allow oil to cool slightly.
Make The Yogurt Sauce
- Toast the mustard and cumin seeds in a dry pan until they begin to pop.
- In a blender or small food processor, combine the infused oil, Greek yogurt, ginger, chopped coriander, mustard and cumin seeds, lime juice, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Poach The Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer with a splash of vinegar (optional). Create a gentle whirlpool by swirling the water with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Crack each egg into a small ramekin, then gently slide into the water.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Assemble The Bowl
- Spread the yogurt-coriander sauce on the base of a shallow bowl.
- Arrange smoked salmon slices and edamame beans around the edges.
- Place the two poached eggs on top.
- Garnish with microherbs and an extra drizzle of infused oil if you like.
Notes
Cooking times for poached eggs:
- Runny yolk (classic poached, soft white): 2½ to 3 minutes , as per my photo
- Medium / jammy yolk (slightly thickened, still creamy): 3½ to 4 minutes
- Hard poached (fully set yolk): 5 to 6 minutes
