Eggs Benedict With Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    3 egg yolks
    1/2 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon white sugar
    1 pinch ground black pepper
    1 dash hot pepper sauce
    8 eggs
    8 slices rye bread
    8 ounces smoked salmon, cut into thin slices
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
    1 teaspoon capers, for garnish
Preparation
    To make the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper and hot sauce. Cook over simmering water while stirring constantly, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
    In a large stock pot heat 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Carefully break the eggs one at a time into the boiling water. When all the eggs have been added, reduce the heat to medium. When the eggs float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly.
    To assemble final dish: Toast bread slices and place on warm plates. Top each piece of toast with a slice of smoked salmon and a hot poached egg. Drizzle with yogurt sauce; garnish with parsley and capers.
