Instructions

1

Prep

Split and toast the 2 English muffins. Measure 150g Greek yoghurt, 2 egg yolks, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, pinch cayenne, salt, and fresh chives. Fill a wide pan with water and add 1 tbsp white wine vinegar.

2

Build

Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water on medium heat for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, slowly stir in Greek yoghurt until fully combined.

3

Finish

Return hollandaise to lowest heat, stirring occasionally. Add cayenne and salt to taste, keep warm. While hollandaise rests, grill turkey bacon over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

4

Simmer

Bring vinegared water to gentle simmer over medium heat. Create a swirl, slide in eggs one at a time, poach 3 minutes until whites set but yolks remain runny. While eggs poach, place muffin halves on plates.

5

Plate

Top each muffin half with turkey bacon, a poached egg, and generous hollandaise. Finish with fresh chives and black pepper. Serve immediately.
