Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen thick-cut French fries
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup cheese curds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. **Prepare the Fries**: Preheat your oven as per package instructions. Spread frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through (approximately 25-30 minutes).
- 2. **Poach the Eggs**: In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- 3. **Make the Hollandaise Sauce**: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until pale. Gradually drizzle in melted butter while whisking vigorously until thickened and creamy.
- 4. **Assemble Your Breakfast Poutine**: Layer baked fries on plates, generously sprinkle cheese curds over hot fries to allow melting. Top with poached eggs and drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
- 5. **Add Final Touches**: Season with salt and pepper; feel free to add sautéed spinach or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor!
