Hollandaise Sauce
- 2 egg yolks room temperature
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp salted butter melted
For the poached eggs
- 4 cold eggs
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
Garnish
- English muffins
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp parsley chopped
Each serving will include
- English muffin split in half
- 1 slice turkey bacon
- 1 poached egg
- 1 tbsp hollandaise sauce
Cook the turkey bacon:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place turkey bacon on to a baking tray lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until crispy.
Prepare the English muffin:
To warm up the English muffin, place it onto a plate and microwave for 20-30 seconds, until just warm.
Use a fork to gently prod the English muffin in half.
Place the English muffin halves into a toaster to toast until light and crisp.
Make the hollandaise sauce:
Whisk 2 egg yolks in a heat-safe glass bowl with lemon juice and mustard until pale in colour and increased a little in volume.
Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water (make sure the bowl isn't touching the water).
Continue to whisk until the egg yolks double in volume.
Drizzle in a little melted butter at a time, while whisking the egg yolks.
Wait until the egg yolks have absorbed the butter before adding more butter. [You may not need the entire amount of butter].
Once the sauce is thick, pale, and glossy, remove the bowl from heat. Season with salt.
Keep the hollandaise sauce covered and in a warm location until ready to use.
Make the poached eggs:
Crack a whole egg into a small bowl.
Bring water in a pot to a simmer and add 1 Tbsp of white vinegar to the water.
With a spoon, stir the water in a circle to create a vortex.
Gently pour in the egg and gently stir so the egg doesn't sink. Lower the heat to barely simmering and leave it to poach for 3 ½ minutes until the egg white has set.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg, and place onto a paper towel to drain.
Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Assemble:
Place 2 halves of an English muffin on a plate.
Add a slice of turkey bacon (cut in half) onto each muffin round.
Gently place a poached egg on each half.
Dollop a spoonful of hollandaise sauce.
Garnish with black pepper and parsley.
Serve immediately.
