Can I make smoked salmon and avocado eggs royale ahead of time?

Make components ahead: hollandaise can stay warm for an hour, poach eggs slightly under and hold them in warm water, toast muffins last minute.

Is smoked salmon and avocado eggs royale gluten-free?

Only if you use gluten-free bread or muffins.

Sure! Use Greek yogurt with lemon juice and fresh herbs for a lighter topping.

Hollandaise doesn’t freeze well it’s best fresh.

Cold-smoked salmon is classic, but gravlax or smoked trout are delicious swaps.
