Ingredients

1 package (397 g) cubed Champêtre breakfast potatoes
12 slices of bacon
1 pinch of salt
15 ml (1 tbsp.) of white vinegar
4 eggs
2 English muffins (4 slices)
5 ml (1 tsp) of finely chopped chives

Hollandaise sauce:
4 egg yolks
60 ml (4 tbsp.) of melted butter
7.5 ml (1 ½ tsp) of lemon juice
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of paprika

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. On a baking sheet, place the breakfast potatoes and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Turn them halfway through cooking.

  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, separate 4 egg whites from their yolks.
  5. Place the 4 egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk until they reach twice their volume.
  6. Add lemon juice.
  7. Make a bain-marie with a pot of hot water and the bowl of whipped egg yolks and whisk again.

  9. Boil 3 inches of water in a cauldron.
  10. Reduce the heat and add a pinch of salt and the vinegar.
  11. Crack and gently place an egg in the water and poach for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted ladle. Repeat for the other 3 eggs.
