  • 3/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 whole grain english muffins, sliced in half

  • 4 tomato slices
  • 2 ounce smoked salmon

  1. In a small bowl, add Icelandic Provisions plain skyr, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, turmeric, paprika, and sea salt. Whisk together until emulsified. Set aside.
  2. Break 1 egg into a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. tip the strainer around to help separate the thins parts of the egg white from the thick part of the egg white. Tap the strainer against the side of the bowl to allow the thinner part of the egg white to fall through. The thick part of the egg white and the egg yolk will remain. Pour the egg into a ramekin and set aside. Toss the thinner egg white from the bowl. Repeat with each egg.

  4. To Assemble:
  5. Let them cook until egg whites are slightly firm about 2-3 minutes. Egg yolk will be runny.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs. Place them on a clean plate and set aside.
  7. Toast the English muffins (For best timing toast once eggs are being poached.)
  8. Place the spinach, a tomato slice, 1/4 of the smoked salmon and a poached egg on one half of the English muffin.
  9. Pour 1/4 of the skyr mixture over each egg, and sprinkle some dill on top before serving.
