Method

For the Caramelized Onions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

For the Sage Brown Butter Hollandaise

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sage Brown Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the sage leaves out.

  2. 3

    Make the Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Gradually whisk in the brown butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Country Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Garnish with chopped parsley.

For the Eggs and Assembly

  1. 5

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  2. 6

    Assembly

    Toast the English muffins and place a slice of brie on each half. Top with caramelized onions and a poached egg. Drizzle with sage brown butter hollandaise and serve with country potatoes on the side.
