Here we learn the most basic kimchi, it is a great introduction to fermentation and a great dish to make for any meal. So get your jars out and clear out a shelf because your whole kitchen is going to smell like kimchi soon.
EGGS ROYALE
Eggs royale or the most famously known and ordered eggs benedict, widely popularised in new york city and now enjoyed all over the world. The beauty of this dish is that eggs benedict usually consists of 2 halves of an english muffin, topped with canadian bacon, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, but if you were to swap the bacon out with sayyyy salmon, you get eggs royale.
This ever decadent, rich, creamy dish will sure to get you up and going no matter the time of day.... or it will just put you back to sleep. The buttery hollandaise sauce perfectly compliments the runny poached egg which is then all absorbed up into a nice toasty english muffin with little cheaky bits of smoked salmon here and there.
