Ingredients

Hollandiase sauce:

• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Other components:

• 4 eggs
• 4 slices peameal bacon
• 2 fluffy english muffins (if you'd like to make your own, I used Preppy Kitchen's recipe!)

Simple Arugula salad:

• 2 cups arugula
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Sliced red onion
• Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Poached eggs:

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil and then reduce to low heat. Add in 2 tbsp white vinegar.
2. Crack 2 eggs into 2 separate bowls. (We're going to do 2 at a time.)
3. Using a large spoon, swirl the water to create a vortex. Add in one egg at a time, using the spoon to make sure they don't stick to the bottom.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. This may take a couple tries if you've never poached an egg before!
5. Remove eggs using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel until ready to eat.

For hollandaise sauce (make right before serving!):

1. In a food processor or blender, add egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice. Blitz until fully combined. (20 seconds)
2. Melt butter (make sure the butter isn't too hot!) and stream into the egg yolk mixture slowly while continuously blending.
3. When the butter is fully incorporated, it should be a lush and creamy sauce. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

To assemble:

1. Top both halves of the toasted english muffin with a slice of peameal bacon, a poached egg and the hollandaise sauce.
2. Serve with a side of arugula salad or hashbrowns and enjoy :)
