The egg is poached; below it is tomato and smoked salmon mixed with cream cheese on top of a quinoa cake. The quinoa cake is cooked quinoa, minced red onion, chopped spinach, s&p, dash of cayenne, lemon juice, parmesan, garlic, grated and squeezed potato, egg and flour all fried in shallow oil. The yellow sauce is a standard hollandaise. The salad is watercress, radish, grape tomato, sauteed mushroom and shallots with some capers; it sits on blanched, shocked, and pureed spinach with chicken stock, then strained through a fine strainer. The asparagus was steamed and topped with a standard balsamic reduction. Along the front of the plate onto the salad is a drizzle of bacon-infused olive oil (basically bacon cooked at a low temp in olive oil so that it's done after about an hour, meaty bits of the bacon reserved and returned to the oil discarding fatty parts and let sit for a couple days).
