Base Ingredients

Protein Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into individual small bowls. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Cooking the Proteins

  1. 3

    Prepare 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.

  2. 4

    Heat the Smoked Salmon

    Briefly warm the smoked salmon in the same skillet for about 1 minute, just to heat it up.

  3. 5

    Warm the Crab Meat

    In a small saucepan, gently heat the crab meat over low heat for about 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Be careful not to overcook.

Making the Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted English muffin half, layer the Canadian bacon, smoked salmon, and warmed crab meat. Top each with a poached egg and generously drizzle with hollandaise sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle with chopped chives and a dash of paprika for added flavor and presentation.
