Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Slowly add in the melted butter, whisking constantly until smooth. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.

  3. 3

    Cook the Canadian Bacon

    In a skillet, lightly toast the Nueske's Canadian bacon over medium heat until heated through, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Toast the English muffin halves. Place a slice of Canadian bacon on each muffin half, top with a poached egg, and drizzle generously with hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
