Introduction: The King of Brunch, Dressed to The Nines

Why Smoked Salmon Benedict Is Brunch Royalty

There's a reason Smoked Salmon Benedict sits at the top of the brunch food chain. It's the dish that turns a lazy Sunday morning into something special. Picture this: silky ribbons of smoked salmon draped over perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks, rich hollandaise, fresh spinach, and creamy avocado, all stacked on crunchy toasted sourdough. It's a balanced, indulgent plate that’s become a true icon.

At The Nines Emporium in Maroochydore, we've been perfecting this classic for nearly a decade. I'm Janice Kuz, and I've spent that time obsessing over every element of our Smoked Salmon Benedict , constantly tweaking and refining until we got it just right. Our "We Don't Do Boring" philosophy means we're not satisfied with good enough. We want every Benny that leaves our kitchen to be the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savour the moment.

What makes our Smoked Salmon Benedict a local legend? It starts with premium quality smoked salmon that's fresh and full of flavour. Our house-made hollandaise is rich and velvety, made fresh by our kitchen team every day. The eggs are perfectly poached with runny yolks every single time, and a crispy golden hash brown on the side adds the perfect crunch. It's a combination we've refined to be just right.

Our Smoked Salmon Benedict is part of the famous Benny Trilogy, alongside the classic Bacon Benny and the vegetarian Mushroom Benny. All three have become a bit of a local obsession, and once you taste them, you'll understand why locals keep coming back. Why settle for a kitchen disaster at home when you can get the real deal from pro chefs? Just a damn good Benny paired with a smooth oat latte from our Tim Adams Vintage Black blend is waiting for you.

The Secrets Behind Our Famous Smoked Salmon Benedict

There's something special about a perfectly crafted Eggs Benedict , and honestly? We reckon it's the king of breakfast. Our Smoked Salmon Benedict takes that crown and wears it with pride as part of our legendary "Benny Trilogy" , sitting alongside our classic Bacon and earthy Mushroom variations. Each one's a masterpiece in its own right, but the Smoked Salmon brings this fresh, luxurious vibe that just hits different.

It's not just another dish we slap together. Every plate is crafted with precision and passion by our kitchen crew, who pour their heart and soul into getting that perfect balance of flavours and textures. That's what keeps our Maroochydore mates coming back week after week, sometimes even twice in the same week (we see you, and we love it).

What's the secret? It's a combo of killer ingredients, a whole lotta chef skill, and our philosophy that says "Nah, we don't do boring." We're talking about house-made hollandaise that's velvety smooth, eggs poached so perfectly they practically wink at ya, and a stack that's dressed to the nines every single time. Seriously, once you try our Benny, you'll know exactly why it's become a Maroochydore must-try. Come see what all the fuss is about with our Benny Trilogy: The Nines' take on Eggs Benedict.

It All Starts with Next-Level Ingredients

You can't make an epic feed without starting with the good stuff, right? At The Nines, quality isn't negotiable, and our Smoked Salmon Benedict proves it from the first bite. We start with silky, premium smoked salmon , the kind that melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting more. Then there are our local free-range eggs , because happy chooks make the best yolks, fo sho.

The foundation? Perfectly toasted sourdough , crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, ready to soak up all that goodness. We layer it up with creamy avocado and fresh, vibrant spinach , because balance is key, ya know? And let's not forget the golden, crispy hash brown that comes on the side, adding that extra bit of textural heaven.

Every single ingredient is chosen for its flavour, freshness, and ability to make your tastebuds sing. It's this commitment to using only the best that makes our food truly stand out.

The Art of the Perfect Poach

Ah, the poached egg. It's got a rep for being a bit finnicky, but for us, it's an art form we've spent years perfecting. Getting that perfectly runny yolk , cradled in a tender, set white, is pure magic. It's a skill our chefs have honed through countless mornings, a delicate dance of water temperature, a gentle swirl, and spot-on timing . No shortcuts, no compromises.

We only use the freshest eggs , because they hold their shape better and give you that vibrant, golden yolk that oozes out just right when you cut into it. It's not just about cooking an egg; it's about creating that moment of pure bliss when the yolk spills out, mixing with the hollandaise and everything else on your plate. Trust us, when it comes to poaching, our crew has got it down pat. This dedication to perfection is why our Bennies are consistently out of this world.

Our House-Made Hollandaise: The Real MVP

Let's talk about the sauce that ties it all together: our house-made hollandaise . This isn't your average store-bought stuff, mate. This is rich, velvety, and made fresh by our kitchen crew every single day. It's a delicate emulsion of egg yolks, lemon juice, and warm butter, a bit of culinary wizardry that requires a chef's steady hand and a whole lotta whisking.

The result? A creamy, tangy, and utterly addictive sauce that perfectly complements the smoked salmon and poached eggs. It's what lifts our Smoked Salmon Benedict from good to "damn good." And for those who love a bit of a twist, our Mushroom Benny gets a special pesto hollandaise , just to keep things interesting. Because at The Nines, we believe in always bringing our A-game.

Why Our Smoked Salmon Benny Hits Different

It's a taste sensation, a full-send for your tastebuds.

And let's not forget the hash brown on the side . Golden, crispy, and the ideal companion to mop up any stray hollandaise. It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savour every bite. We've poured years of passion and a sprinkle of that "Nines magic" into perfecting this dish, and it really shows. It's not just breakfast; it's a brunch experience that's become a local legend.
