Method

  1. Fill a saucepan with water and set over a high heat. Bring to the boil, add the vinegar and swirl the water around to create a vortex in the centre of the pan.

  2. Crack the eggs into the pan on opposite sides then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes until just set.

  3. Meanwhile, toast the bread, and tip the crème fraiche and ¾ of the chives into a small bowl. Season with black pepper and mix well.

  4. Lift the eggs out to drain onto kitchen paper.

  5. Divide the toast between serving plates. Top with the salad, smoked salmon, poached egg and a dollop of chive cream. Finish with a few wedges of lemon, plenty of black pepper and the last of the chives.
