1. Heat olive oil in saute pan over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic to the pan and allow the edges of the mushrooms to brown, stirring occasionally. Add in the bell pepper and onion and stir together until onions have browned and peppers have softened. Season with a pinch of salt.
2. Assemble the eggs royale by placing the bread on a plate with the toasted cut side up. Top with mushroom/onion/pepper mixture, smoked salmon and then poached egg. Cover with Hollandaise sauce and season with salt, freshly ground pepper and cilantro or parsley for garnish.

For the Hollandaise Sauce

1. Heat butter in a small sauce pan over low heat, allowing it to melt completely. Continue to let the butter simmer until no more foam seems to be forming at the top. Skim the foam from the top of the butter and set the pan aside. (You can strain it through a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove any foam that was missed, but you don’t have to.)
2. Bring a small pot of water, to a boil on the stove. Do not fill it completely, as it shouldn’t touch the bottom of the bowl when it’s placed on top.
3. Reduce heat to low and allow water to simmer.
4. In a glass or stainless steel, heat proof mixing bowl, whisk together the yolks and the cold water for 1-2 minutes or until frothy. Place the bowl on the pot of simmering water and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
5. Remove the bowl from the pot and gradually, about a couple teaspoons at a time, pour in the warm butter, again whisking continuously.
6. After all the butter has been added, whisk in the lemon juice and season with salt and ground pepper. Continue to whisk until thickened.
7. When done, the sauce should be thick but smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more lemon juice or room temperature water a teaspoon at time and whisk until well incorporated

For the poached egg

1. Bring a few inches of water in a pot to a simmer. Add in vinegar and a pinch of salt.
2. Break egg into a small bowl and reduce heat of water to low. Once water has reduced to a very hot temperature, but not simmering, stir it with a spoon in one direction to create a whirlpool. Drop the egg into the water and allow it to cook for a 2-3 minutes, or until slightly firm on the outside and still soft on the inside. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the pot and place it on a paper towel to allow it to drain of excess water.
