Ingredients

Poached Eggs

Corned Beef

Griddled English Muffin

Hollandaise Sauce

Home Fries

Preparation

Home Fries

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and dice the medium potatoes into small cubes.

2. Cook the Potatoes

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Corned Beef

3. Heat the Corned Beef

In a separate skillet, heat the 8 oz of corned beef over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

Poached Eggs

4. Prepare the Water

Fill a pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Poach the Eggs

Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Griddled English Muffin

6. Toast the Muffins

Slice the English muffins in half. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Place the muffin halves cut-side down in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Hollandaise Sauce

7. Melt the Butter

In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, set aside.

8. Whisk the Egg Yolks

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until pale and thick.

9. Combine and Cook

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Gradually whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is thickened. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Keep warm.

Assembly

10. Plate the Dish

On each griddled muffin half, layer the warmed corned beef, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve alongside home fries.
