A timeless breakfast favorite featuring toasted English muffin halves topped with savory Canadian bacon, perfectly poached eggs, and rich, velvety hollandaise sauce.
Ingredients
Directions
Blend Yolks and Lemon Juice: In a blender, blend the egg yolks and lemon juice to create the base for the hollandaise sauce. (Optionally, whisk in a double boiler over a gentle simmer to reduce curdling).
Drizzle Butter: Slowly pour in the melted butter while blending until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Thin with a little warm water or lemon juice if it becomes too viscous.
Season Sauce: Season to taste with cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
Heat Water to Simmer: Fill a large saucepan with at least 4 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to help the egg whites set.
Poach Eggs 3-4 Minutes: Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water (cracking them into a small bowl or ladle first helps). Stir the water into a gentle whirlpool while cooking to keep whites tight. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove Eggs: Lift eggs out with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Toast Muffins: Split the English muffins and toast them. Spread with butter if desired.
Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon or ham slices until lightly browned.
Assemble: Place a slice of Canadian bacon on each toasted muffin half, top with a poached egg, and spoon over a generous layer of hollandaise. Garnish with chopped chives and extra cayenne pepper if desired.
