1️⃣ Prep the Sauce
This sauce is the star of the show—rich, velvety, and loaded with flavour.
-
In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to make a smooth paste.
-
Gradually whisk in the milk to avoid lumps.
-
Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
-
Stir in the cream and both mustards.
-
Add lemon juice, salt, and plenty of cracked black pepper.
-
Keep warm on very low heat.
✅ Miami Magic Tip: Want a little extra zing? Add a teaspoon of horseradish cream to the sauce.
2️⃣ Poach the Eggs
If you’ve never poached eggs before—don’t stress. It’s easier than it looks.
-
Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer (not boiling).
-
Add a splash of vinegar.
-
Crack each egg into a small cup.
-
Stir the water to create a swirl, then gently slip the egg into the middle.
-
Cook for 3 minutes for runny yolks or 4 for firmer ones.
-
Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
✅ Alternate: You can also serve this dish with soft-boiled or fried eggs if you prefer.
3️⃣ Toast & Assemble
While the eggs poach, toast your bread until golden.
To serve:
-
Place toasted bread on warm plates.
-
Top each slice with two poached eggs.
-
Generously spoon the warm mustard cream sauce over the top.
-
Finish with chopped herbs, cracked pepper, and a little smoked paprika.
Serve immediately while everything is hot and luscious.
Make It Your Own
This is a super versatile recipe. Here are some ideas to mix it up:
- Add greens: Serve on wilted spinach, blanched asparagus, or sautéed kale
- Protein boost: Layer smoked salmon or crispy bacon under the eggs.
- Wholegrain swap: Use rye toast or seeded sourdough for extra fibre.
- Turn up the heat: Stir a little cayenne or chilli oil into the sauce.

Crispy smashed potatoes or hash browns.

Fresh juice spritzers or a cheeky brunch mimosa.

Shortcuts & Storage
✅ Make ahead: You can prep the sauce up to 2 days in advance—just reheat gently with a splash of milk.
