What are Eggs Hemmingway? It is a little bit of an unfair question because you may know them as Eggs Montreal, eggs Norwegian, or by the very Quentin Tarantino-esque Eggs Royale. That is how I have always served them on menus, and they will make you an incredible Christmas Day breakfast. You will have most likely heard of Eggs Benedict well this dish, in my humble opinion, is a much nicer and definitely more extravagant dish.
Ernest Hemmingway and Food and Drink
Ernest Hemmingway was no slouch when it came to writing about food and drink. From the dozens of bars serving his favourite Margarita, there is even a Hemmingway Cookbook. ( For the purposes of research I have tried a couple of Hemmingway haunts in Key West ). I don’t agree with fillet of lion washed down with gin, but I do love Eggs Hemmingway.
So, what is the dish? Traditionally the dish is a toasted English Breakfast Muffin topped with Smoked Salmon, a soft poached free-range Egg, and some indulgent Hollandaise sauce. A real festive breakfast treat. In my slightly updated recipe, I have substituted the muffin for my toasted sun-blush tomato sourdough. For perfect poached eggs use the freshest eggs you can buy and a teaspoon of white wine or cider vinegar will help set the egg white. The secrets for a great Hollandaise are available by following this link for my step-by-step masterclass.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, and add the vinegar, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Slowly stir the water and create a vortex. Crack an egg into a cup then drop the egg into the centre of the pan.
Poach for four minutes then remove using a slotted spoon, onto some kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Toast the sourdough and top with a little spinach if you want to use it, then lay on the smoke salmon.
To serve, add the eggs and cover with Hollandaise sauce and season.

Eggs Hemingway or Eggs Atlantic, or Eggs Copenhagen (also known as Eggs Royale and Eggs Montreal in New Zealand) are a variation upon the classic breakfast dish of eggs Benedict, all of which substitute the traditional cold thick ham for fresh smoked salmon.
In France, anything served on a bed of spinach became “Florentine” because Catherine de Medici came from Florence. Serving a poached egg on a bed of greens with a mother sauce was a common breakfast dish, and toast would likely have been served on the side.
The primary difference between eggs Florentine and eggs Benedict is the addition of spinach. While eggs Florentine may or may not feature Canadian bacon, the dish always features a sautéed layer of spinach.
He was noted both for the intense masculinity of his writing and for his adventurous and widely publicized life. His succinct and lucid prose style exerted a powerful influence on American and British fiction in the 20th century. Born: July 21, 1899, Cicero [now in Oak Park], Illinois, U.S.
Hemingway preferred to be called 'Papa' because he hated his own first name (Ernest). Around the age of 27, he began instructing people to call him 'Papa Hemingway', though no one is exactly sure why he chose this moniker.
Popular theory places its origin to a town in Normandy, France called "Isigny-Sur-Mer", known for its high-quality butter. According to history, France couldn't produce its own butter during the First World War and imported it from Holland – which led to it being known as Hollandaise.
Eggs Benedict and three delicious versions–Eggs Florentine with spinach, Eggs Royale with smoked salmon and Eggs Norwegian with both–are perfect ways to create a delicious Sunday brunch. Sometimes I offer more than one version at the same meal.

Huevos Benedictos – adds sliced avocado or Mexican chorizo, topped with salsa (such as salsa roja or salsa brava) and Hollandaise sauce.
Over Hard: Over hard eggs are the same as over easy except that their middle is solid. If you dislike the runny texture of egg yolk, this is a perfect option.
What is Hollandaise Sauce? If you've never experienced the magic of hollandaise sauce, let me attempt to describe it to you. It's a very simple savory sauce made with butter, egg yolk, lemon, and salt. It has a smooth, velvety texture with just the right amount of bright lemon flavor to keep it from being too heavy.
As a big fan of yolks, over-easy and sunny-side-up eggs are two of my favorite ways to fry eggs (and I've tried a lot of ways.) Each results in a slightly different experience: over-easy eggs have a really runny yolk perfect for dipping and sunny-side-up eggs have a slightly more set yolk better suited for sandwiches.
The egg white is known as the albumen, which comes from albus, the Latin word for “white.” Four alternating layers of thick and thin albumen contain approximately 40 different proteins, the main components of the egg white in addition to water.
A hobo is probably called that because it's made by throwing a bunch of ingredients into a single pan. As far as I know, it always contains eggs, cheese, and potatoes, and some sort of meat.
Sunny side up eggs are eggs slow cooked in a frying pan until the egg white is set, but the yolk remains slightly runny. The 'sunny side' refers to the plump orange yolk, which resembles a sun.
