Eggs

Hollandaise Sauce

Assembly

Method

Eggs

  1. 1

    Poaching the Eggs

    Fill a medium saucepan with water and add the white vinegar. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolk. This will make it easier to slide the eggs into the simmering water.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water, then carefully slide in the eggs one at a time. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and frothy.

  3. 6

    Combine and Emulsify

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Add salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then whisk until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Muffins

    Slice the English muffins in half and toast until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Cook the Canadian Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon slices until heated through and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted muffin half, layer a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle generously with hollandaise sauce and garnish with fresh chives.
