Instructions
 

Cooking the base

  • Cook the tater tots or French fries according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy. Set aside.

Making the hollandaise sauce

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Gradually add the unsalted butter while continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in the cayenne pepper and chicken stock. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the toppings

  • In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and scramble until cooked to your desired doneness.
  • In the same skillet, cook the bacon and breakfast sausage until crispy and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Assembling the dish

  • To assemble, place a generous amount of tater tots or fries on a plate. Top with scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, and cheese curds.
  • Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top and garnish with green onions.

Notes

Serve this indulgent breakfast poutine hot, straight from the skillet. It’s best enjoyed immediately while the flavors are fresh and the cheese is melty. Consider pairing it with fresh fruit or a light salad for a well-rounded meal.
