Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and water. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Stir in pepper jack cheese and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. In the same skillet used for bacon, add a little butter and scramble the eggs over low heat until just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Grill the Cornbread

    In the skillet, toast the cornbread slices until golden brown on both sides.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On each slice of grilled cornbread, place a portion of scrambled eggs and top with crispy bacon. Drizzle with pepper jack hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
