Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English muffins
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them using a toaster or under a broiler. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the Canadian bacon slices until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. Keep warm.
Fill a medium pot or deep skillet with 3-4 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the simmering water.
Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes or until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Meanwhile, prepare the mock Hollandaise sauce. In a small saucepan, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Stir to combine.
Over low heat, warm the sauce gently, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Once warmed through, stir in the unsalted butter until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
To assemble, place two toasted English muffin halves on each serving plate. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, then a poached egg. Spoon the mock Hollandaise sauce generously over each egg.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
