Salmon Croquette Truffle Eggs Benedict

My Salmon Croquette Truffle Eggs Benedict is made with delicious, flavorful salmon croquettes topped with perfectly poached eggs and creamy truffle sauce, perfect for Mother’s Day brunch at home.

I love making brunch at home and it’s even more special when I make eggs benedict but not just any eggs benedict, my salmon croquette truffle eggs benedict. It’s a simple dish in nature but comes across very upscale and sophisticated, which is why I think it’s a perfect occasion at home brunch recipe for something like Mother’s Day.

The recipe starts off with simple salmon croquettes, these salmon croquettes are elevated by using pre cooked roasted salmon filets that you just need to flake in a bowl to get started.

Next, you add some fresh ingredients like red bell pepper, onions and fresh dill. You bind it all together with flour, egg and a little seasoned breadcrumbs for added texture.

I like a low maintenance recipe so, I cooked my croquettes in the air fryer. They come out juicy and perfectly cooked every time and you don’t have to worry about hot oil everywhere.

Next, I make the poached eggs, which you can technically make last to keep them warm but I like for them to keep cooking as they cool for the most gorgeous egg yolk.

Poached eggs are simple but they are all about technique. You want to first boil your water in a deep enough pot that you can create a little whirlpool action by stirring the water.

Once the water is bubbling away you want to add your vinegar and crack your egg into a separate bowl. Use a spoon to crate a whirlpool in the water and simply pour in the egg and reduce the heat to medium. You want to add each egg one at a time an cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top and the egg white is nice and firm and the center is jiggly to the touch.

Let them cool on paper towels and move on to the next step, which is to make your truffle hollandaise sauce. I like to turn the heat to low on the water the eggs were cooking in and simply place a glass bowl over top and make my sauce right there.

All you need for the truffle hollandaise is egg yolks, lemon juice, hot sauce, black truffle spread and salt.

Whisk that in the bowl really well and allow the excess heat to cook the sauce and thicken it up.

Once nice and thick remove from the heat and assemble your benedict.

Of course you can add an English muffin to the bottom of the eggs benedict if you choose but I didn’t find it necessary.

Place the salmon croquette on the bottom, followed by the poached egg then cover the egg in hollandaise sauce. Top with fresh dill, serve an enjoy!
