Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you need to prepare Salmon Eggs with Creamy Sauce on Toast for two servings.

For the Toast Base:

  • 2 slices of sourdough bread or your preferred artisan bread

  • Butter or olive oil for toasting

For the Salmon & Eggs:

  • 4 slices of smoked salmon or gravlax

  • 2 large eggs (free-range preferred)

  • 1 tsp white vinegar (for poaching)

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • ¼ cup cream (or substitute with crème fraîche)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

  • A dash of lemon juice

  • Fresh dill or chives for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Toast

Start by slicing your bread about 1.5cm thick. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil or a pat of butter, and toast in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp. Set aside on a warm plate.

Tip from Miami Magic AU: To elevate the flavor, rub a cut garlic clove over the warm toast for an aromatic touch.

Step 2: Poach the Eggs

Fill a saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to help the egg whites firm up.

  • Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin.

  • Use a spoon to swirl the water and gently slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool.

  • Let it cook undisturbed for 3 minutes for a runny yolk.

  • Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

  • Repeat for the second egg.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.

  • Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

  • Add cream and stir until the sauce thickens.

  • Mix in Dijon mustard (optional), lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

  • Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes.

The result should be a smooth, velvety white sauce—rich yet balanced.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

Now comes the fun part—assembling your toast.

  1. Place each toast slice on a plate.

  2. Arrange the smoked salmon slices neatly over the toast.

  3. Carefully place a poached egg on top of the salmon.

  4. Spoon the creamy sauce generously over the egg and salmon.

  5. Garnish with freshly chopped dill or chives.

Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side.

Flavor Variations

At Miami Magic AU, we love giving you options to suit your style. Here are a few variations you can try:

  • Avocado Base: Mash ripe avocado on the toast before layering salmon and egg for a creamier, healthier twist.

  • Cream Cheese Swap: Instead of the creamy sauce, use herbed cream cheese for a more tangy flavor.

  • Spice It Up: Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes on top for a touch of heat.

  • Hollandaise Sauce: Go classic with a rich hollandaise if you’re feeling fancy.

Best Bread for This Dish

Choosing the right bread can make all the difference:

  • Sourdough: Tangy and robust—perfect to complement the richness of the sauce.

  • Brioche: Adds a buttery softness that pairs beautifully with salmon.

  • Whole Grain: For a nuttier, healthier option.

Drink Pairing Ideas

To complete the experience, pair this dish with:

  • A glass of sparkling wine or champagne

  • Fresh orange juice for a vibrant non-alcoholic option

  • Cold brew coffee or Earl Grey tea for a classy morning affair

 

Tips for Success

  • Always use fresh eggs for perfect poaching. The whites stay together better.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when poaching. One egg at a time ensures proper cooking.

  • If your sauce thickens too much, add a splash of milk to loosen it.

  • Serve everything warm—toast, sauce, eggs—to create the best texture contrast.

Nutritional Highlights

This dish is surprisingly well-balanced:

  • High in protein from salmon and eggs

  • Rich in healthy fats, especially Omega-3s

  • Customizable for low-carb or gluten-free diets by swapping bread
