Smoked Trout Eggs Benedict is just one of the yummy recipes I made with my Traeger Smoked Trout!

Smoked trout is very similar to smoked salmon, so if you have smoked salmon just use that instead.

I also used a great home cook hack and “poached” the eggs in the air fryer (stay tuned for that fun trick).

I supposed you could also use a store bought hollandaise sauce if you really wanted to make this extra easy.

How to make Smoked Trout Eggs Benedict

First make the hollandaise sauce, which is actually pretty simple (or use store bought… I won’t judge 😉 ).

Put 4 egg yolks in a food processor.

Then add in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and some Old Bay seasoning.

It pairs so well with seafood, so I thought why not add it?!

Turn the food processor on for about a minute, then slowly drizzle in a stick of hot melted butter.

The hot butter will cook the eggs enough and create a thick and rich sauce 🙂

And now for the air fryer hack for cooking the eggs… start with some small bowls or ramekins.

First, spray each with cooking spray and add a tablespoon of water to each.

Then crack an egg into each one and put them in the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer to 370 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked how you like.

Of course, feel free to actually poach your eggs for a more traditional eggs benedict.

To assemble the eggs benedict, start with a toasted English muffin half with some of the flaked Traeger Smoked Trout (or store bought smoked trout or salmon).

Then add a few spears of cooked asparagus.

I actually air fried my asparagus for about 6 minutes.

But grilled asparagus would be amazing!

Finally, top the Smoked Trout Eggs Benedict with the poached egg and Old Bay hollandaise!

Oh, and some fresh dill and more Old Bay to make it even prettier 🙂

You’ll feel like you are brunching at a fancy restaurant with this dish!
