🛒 Ingredients

✓ 4 large pasture-raised eggs
✓ 2 whole grain English muffins, split and lightly toasted
✓ 4 oz Canadian bacon or smoked salmon, thinly sliced
✓ 2 tablespoons grassfed butter
✓ 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 egg yolk (for hollandaise)
✓ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
✓ 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
✓ Pinch of cayenne pepper
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ Fresh dill or chives for garnish
✓ White vinegar (1 tablespoon for poaching)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the hollandaise: Whisk egg yolk with lemon juice and mustard in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler). Slowly add melted butter while whisking constantly until thickened (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and fold in Greek yogurt. Season with cayenne, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

2. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add white vinegar. Create a gentle whirlpool and carefully slide each egg into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.

3. While eggs poach, warm Canadian bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes per side, or warm smoked salmon gently without cooking.

4. Toast English muffins until golden and crispy to improve satiety and nutrient absorption.

5. Assemble each serving: Place warm English muffin halves on a plate, top with Canadian bacon or salmon, then carefully place a poached egg on each muffin.

6. Drizzle generously with lightened hollandaise sauce and garnish with fresh dill or chives, sea salt, and cracked black pepper.
