2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

2 English muffins
4 eggs

Canadian bacon

๐Ÿฅ—Healthier: turkey bacon

๐Ÿ’ฐCheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is often more affordable.

hollandaise sauce

๐Ÿฅ—Healthier: avocado sauce

๐Ÿ’ฐCheaper: mayonnaise

Avocado sauce is nutritious, while mayonnaise is a budget-friendly alternative.

1

Start by separating the yolks from the whites of 3 eggs.

2

Melt 125 g of butter in the microwave until liquid.

3

In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar.

4

Whisk the mixture until well combined and frothy.

5

In a separate pan, add a small amount of boiling water and place a bowl over it to create a double boiler.

6

Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly until it thickens.

7

If the sauce splits, add a teaspoon of hot water to bring it back together.

8

Season the hollandaise sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

9

In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle boil and add white wine vinegar.

10

Crack 4 eggs into small bowls and gently slide them into the simmering water.

11

Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes for runny yolks, or up to 4 minutes for firmer yolks.

12

While the eggs are poaching, slice and toast 2 English muffins.

13

Prepare your filling choice: either ham, smoked salmon, or cooked bacon.

14

Once the eggs are done, assemble by placing the filling on the toasted muffin halves, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce.
