Number of servings: 4

Preparation: 7 min.

 Cooking: 15 min.

8 eggs 8
Water, dry white wine, chicken broth or tomato juice, to poach
Few drops of vinegar
4 English muffins, split and toasted 4
8 slices of ham or cooked back bacon 8
Hollandaise Sauce
3 egg yolks 3
1 tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
Pinch salt and cayenne pepper or dry mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted 125 mL
Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce
3/4 cup Plain Yogurt 175 mL
2 Eggs 2
2 tsp Sugar 10 mL
1/4 tsp salt 1 mL
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind 2 mL
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce 1 mL


Poach eggs in selected liquid, using stovetop or microwave method. Top each toasted English muffin half with slice of ham or cooked back bacon, a poached egg and 2 tbsp (30 mL) hollandaise sauce.

Hollandaise Sauce

Stovetop Method: In top of double boiler, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.

Microwave Method: In a 4-cup (1 L) glass measure, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice and spices. Gradually whisk melted butter into egg yolk mixture, beating constantly.

Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until sauce thickens. Whisk halfway through and at end of cooking to produce a smooth sauce. Serve warm.

Variations

Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce:

Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 12 minutes Makes 1 cup (250 mL)

In top of double boiler, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tip:
Curdling of the hollandaise sauce may occur due to over beating or adding butter too quickly. To rescue a curdled sauce, try one of the following: Beat another egg yolk into a small bowl; with a whisk or fork, gradually beat in the curdled hollandaise sauce. Alternatively, place 1 tbsp (15 mL) water in a small bowl; with a whisk or fork, beat in a small amount of separated sauce until it becomes smooth, and keep adding sauce slowly, while continuing to beat vigorously.

Hollandaise sauce may be frozen. To use, thaw in refrigerator. Warm in double boiler over hot (not boiling) water, stirring constantly. If sauce should separate, use procedure described above.
