Instructions

Get the Fritters Ready

Place grated zucchini and sweet potato in a strainer and compress with a paper towel to squeeze out liquid. Remove from strainer and wrap in double layer of paper towels. Set aside to continue drawing out liquid.
Toss together chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, black pepper and chili powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Make the Hollandaise

Fill a small saucepan with about 1" of water and heat until just simmering, when small bubbles begin to form around the pan. Lower heat to continue simmering.
In a heat-safe bowl that fits over the small saucepan without touching the water, whisk together Greek yogurt, 2 egg yolks and vinegar. Place bowl over simmering water and continuously whisk for 12-15 minutes, or until hollandaise begins to thicken (be patient, it will thicken).
Remove bowl from heat and whisk in Dijon mustard. Set aside.

Cook the Fritters

Mix grated zucchini and sweet potato into bread crumb mixture, then mix in egg whites until well combined.
Heat large shallow pan over medium high heat. Add olive oil and continue to heat until oil is hot. Form 4 patties out of zucchini mixture, then add to pan and flatten with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Plate 2 fritters per plate and set aside.
Heat Canadian Bacon over medium high heat until lightly browned and place one slice on top of each fritter.

Assemble

Poach eggs and add on top of Canadian Bacon, then gently spoon hollandaise sauce on top of eggs. Sprinkle with black pepper and chives.
