Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350*
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 4 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and garlic powder.
  • Place the saucepan on the stove over low heat.
  • Whisk constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • As the eggs cook they will become thicker. Once thickened, add 8 oz of softened butter.
  • Whisk until melted.
  • Stir in paprika and remove from heat. 
  • Poach the eggs using egg cups (skip to step 14).
  • If you do not have egg cups or something similar, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  • Add 1 tbsp of vinegar.
  • Use a wooden spoon, and stir to create a vortex in the middle of the pot.
  • Crack the egg into the center of the vortex. The spinning of the water helps to prevent white wispies from going all over the place off of the egg.
  • Cook until the egg starts to solidify, then create a swirling vortex and add another egg.
  • Cook the eggs for 3 minutes each, continuing to wait to add another egg until solidified to prevent them from sticking together. 
  • Melt the butter.
  • Stir in minced garlic and chopped basil.
  • Separate the english muffins and brush with the garlic butter.
  • Top with parmesan cheese and provolone cheese.
  • Place in the oven for 5 minutes, then add the canadian bacon and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Place poached egg atop canadian bacon and drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
  • Garnish with a basil leaf and ground black pepper and enjoy!
