Directions

In a small bowl combine sour cream, chives and white wine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. In a shallow saucepan or skillet bring 2 inches cold water and vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat until water simmers gently. Break eggs, one at a time, into a ramekin or coffee cup. Holding ramekin as close as possible to water, gently slip egg into water. Poach eggs 3 minutes for very soft-cooked, 5 minutes for medium-soft. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out eggs. If necessary, gently pat dry with paper towels. Slice open top of baked potatoes and squeeze. Top with the eggs and criss-cross salmon strips over. Using a squeeze bottle or a teaspoon, drizzle sour cream sauce over salmon and around potatoes.

Garnish decoratively with chives, onion and caviar and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings.
