- 2 tomatoes
- chives
- 1 avocado
- extra virgin olive oil

- For the Hollandaise sauce:
- 150 g clarified butter
- 20 g cold water
- 3 egg yolks (fresh)
- 1/2 lemon juice
- salt

Preparation
Start by preparing the Hollandaise sauce. Melt the butter in the microwave and put it aside.
In a bowl suitable for bain-marie, mix the egg yolks, water, and a pinch of salt.
Whip the eggs until stiffened. Slowly poor in the melted butter and keep whipping the eggs until stiff. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
To cook the poached eggs, put the vinegar and water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Use a spoon to create a whirlpool and drop in the whole egg. Once the egg comes to the surface, wait a couple of minutes and remove it from the water.
On each plate, place a slice of toasted bread covered with slices of tomato, avocado, and salmon. Put the poached egg on top and garnish with the Hollandaise sauce and chopped chives and Grana Padano DOP shavings.
