Ingredients
- 4 ounces Canadian bacon, sliced
- 3 cups water (divided use)
- 2 English muffins
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 egg yolks
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- Dash of paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation
- De-mineralize the Canadian bacon by placing in 2 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes.
- Remove with slotted spoon and set on top of several paper towels to absorb the moisture. Slice English muffins in half and toast them.
- Cut Canadian bacon in half and place on top of each toasted muffin half.
- Combine vinegar with approximately one cup water in a large skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
- Break eggs one at a time and slip into the water to poach the eggs. Cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until eggs are at desired doneness.
- Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of bacon and English muffin; cover and keep warm.
- Melt butter.
- Beat egg yolks over very light heat.
- Quickly add in melted butter, paprika and cayenne pepper.
- Beat in lemon juice until thick.
- Remove from heat and pour on top of English muffins.
Helpful hints
- De-mineralizing the Canadian bacon should remove up to 50% of the phosphorus and up to 80% of the sodium and potassium.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple slices, strawberries and/or blueberries if desired.
