2 steps
Method
1
Boil the eggs 7 minutes for fudgy centers; shock, peel, halve.
2
Board it: salmon in loose folds, eggs, crème with dill stirred through, cucumber, capers, onion, lemon wedges, toasted rye in a stack.
💡
Loose salmon folds beat flat slices — they look generous and lift with a fork. Presentation IS the recipe here.
From the chef
Notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Best fresh; components keep 2 days refrigerated.
Freezing
Most breakfast bakes freeze well for 2 months; assembled plates don't.
Reheating
A low oven (150°C, 8–10 minutes) revives baked things; a nonstick pan over medium-low beats the microwave for anything with a crisp edge.
Make ahead
Prep components the night before — batters rest happily overnight in the fridge, and toppings can be portioned into jars.
Wine pairing
Coffee or fresh juice — it's breakfast.
Beer pairing
It's breakfast — coffee. But a mimosa never hurt a weekend.
