Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ¾ cup plain low-fat yogurt

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 3 egg yolks

  • ½ teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce

  • 8 eggs

  • 8 slices rye bread

  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, cut into thin slices

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

  • 1 teaspoon capers, for garnish

Directions

  1. To make the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper, and hot sauce. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, 6 to 8 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.

  2. In a large stock pot, heat 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Carefully break eggs one at a time into boiling water. When all eggs have been added, reduce the heat to medium. When eggs float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly.

  3. To assemble final dish: Toast bread slices and place on warm plates. Top each piece of toast with a slice of smoked salmon and a hot poached egg. Drizzle with yogurt sauce; garnish with parsley and capers.
