Home-made Salmon Egg Benedict

Woke up early this morning hence I decided to try making egg benedict at home.  This is usually something I will order for breakfast at cafe but they are rather expensive at about $20.  These are my ingredients (working with what I have at home):

1) 2 eggs
2) 2 tea spoon of white wine vinegar (which you can get at most supermarket for below $1
3) A pack of smoked salmon
4) White bread
5) Mayonnaise

Steps
1) Fill up a sauce pan with about 2-3 inch of water and bring to boil
2) Pour 2 vinegar into water and stir
3) Crack 1 egg into a bowl
4) Bring the heat down to a simmer (not boiling)
5) Stir the water so sort of a small whirlpool is formed and pour the egg into the sauce pan
6) The egg with wrap itself up due to the whirlpool and the vinegar
7) Let it cook for about 2 minutes 30 seconds
8) Remove the egg from the sauce pan with a slotted spoon
9) Repeat step 3-8 for the 2nd egg
10) Prepare 2 slices of bread on a plate and lay smoked salmon on it (how many pieces depends on your preference, I usually use 1-2 pieces)
11) Squeeze the mayonnaise on top of the smoked salmon
12) Lay your cooked egg on top of the smoked salmon and its done


This took me about 15 minutes to prepare, although it doesn't look at good as what you get outside but it taste just as good, without the hollandaise sauce though.  Its worth the effort to satisfy my craving for egg benedict.
