Introduction
A classic brunch dish featuring a toasted English muffin topped with crispy bacon, a perfectly poached egg with a runny golden yolk, and a rich, velvety Hollandaise sauce garnished with fresh chives.
Step 1
Prep your station and separate your eggs. Allocate one egg for poaching and one egg yolk for the Hollandaise sauce.
Step 2
Toast the English muffin until golden brown and pan-fry the bacon until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Step 3
Prepare the Hollandaise sauce by gently whisking the egg yolk with warm melted butter and acid (lemon juice/vinegar) over low heat until a thick, creamy, and stable emulsion is achieved.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add salt and a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites coagulate. Carefully drop the egg in and poach until the whites are fully set but the yolk remains completely runny.
Step 5
Assemble the dish by placing the toasted English muffin half on a plate, layering it with the cooked bacon, gently placing the poached egg on top, spooning over the warm Hollandaise sauce, and garnishing with chopped chives.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Hollandaise sauce is highly heat-sensitive; if overheated or left unattended, it will easily break or split.
Do not overcook the poached egg. The yolk must remain warm and runny to blend perfectly with the sauce.
Adding vinegar to the poaching water is crucial as it helps hold the egg white shape together.
Ensure the bacon is properly cooked; undercooked bacon can negatively affect the overall texture of the dish.
