Ingredients:
• 8 Aviko Hashbrown Röstiko Rounds • 1 shallot • 75 ml white wine vinegar • 90 g unsalted butter • 4 eggs • 2 egg yolks • 1/2 lemon • 25 g lettuce blend of your choice
Fry the rösti rounds according to the instructions on the packaging until golden brown and crispy.
Chop the shallot and add 50 ml of wine vinegar and 50 ml of water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to about 1 tablespoon. Pour through a sieve into the measuring cup.
Wipe the saucepan clean and slowly melt the butter in it. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, bring a generous amount of water with the remaining 25 ml of wine vinegar to a boil.
Remove the butter from the heat and let it cool slightly; The butter must remain liquid!
Crack 1 egg over a coffee cup. Turn the heat to low so that the boiling water no longer bubbles. Slowly slide the egg into the water. Repeat with the other 3 eggs. Make sure the eggs don’t touch each other; Poach them in pairs, if necessary.
Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked through, and the yolk is still very soft or just almost set inside. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon, drain briefly and place on a plate.
In the meantime, add the egg yolks to the measuring cup and place the hand blender in it. Pour in the melted butter and puree into a smooth, thickened creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, a little lemon juice and possibly some grated lemon zest.
Place the rösti rounds in pairs on a platter or on 4 plates. Divide the lettuce blend over it. Place a poached egg on every two hash brown rounds and spoon the Hollandaise sauce over it. Grind over some pepper and serve immediately.
