Canadian bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

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

hollandaise sauce

🥗Healthier: avocado sauce

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

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

In a large heatproof bowl, whisk 2 eggs.

Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water.

Add one or two knobs of butter to the bowl and let it melt into the sauce.

Continue adding more butter until the sauce thickens.

Remove the bowl from heat and add about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt, whisking until combined.

In a separate pot, bring water to a rolling simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Gently drop the egg into the simmering water without swirling it.

After poaching, remove the egg and trim any ragged edges with a butter knife.

Toast the English muffins until golden brown.

Assemble the dish by placing thinly sliced ham on the toasted muffin halves, followed by the poached eggs.

Top with the hollandaise sauce and garnish with chopped chives and a crack of black pepper.
