Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 whole English muffins cut in half
Hollandaise:
- 3 egg yolks
- 12 tablespoons butter
- dash lemon juice
- dash cayenne pepper
Italian Sausage Sauce:
- 1 cup Classic Marinara from Fox and Briar
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Toast the English muffins then place in a 225° oven to keep warm until you are ready to assemble them.
- In a wok pan filled with water, bring the water to a boil.
- While the water is getting to boil, prepare the sausage/marinara mix
- On the stove top, turn the heat to medium high. Into a skillet add olive oil and swirl around the pan.
- Once the oil is covering the bottom, crumble the sausage into the pan and cook until browned about 8-10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, stir until combined and sauce is warmed, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until ready for assembly.
- Once the water is boiling reduce heat to a simmer with just an occasional bubble coming to the surface. Crack one egg at a time and place one at a time in a measuring cup. Once water is at a simmer, using a slotted spoon swirl the water and add the egg while the water is moving. Stir once to allow egg to not stick to bottom of the pan.
- Place a second egg into the water. Cook for 3 minutes, then remove to a side plate. Cook in batches two eggs at a time until all are complete.
Hollandaise:
- Into a bowl add the three egg yolks. Add a splash of water (about 1/2 teaspoon) Whisk until very very frothy.
- In a microwave safe measuring cup, melt the butter for about 30 seconds until completely melted.
- Add the melted butter very very slowly in a small drizzle to the frothy egg yolks. This should take over a minute to add all of the butter to the egg yolks. The sauce will thicken easily if you add it very slowly.
- Add the splash of lemon juice and cayenne pepper to season.
Assembly:
- Place two muffin halves face up on each plate. Spoon the Italian sausage mixture over the top of each.
- Place one poached egg on top of the sausage mix.
- Drizzle a heaping spoonful or two of hollandaise over the top of the whole thing. Serve immediately.
- Garnish with fresh tomatoes or parmesan cheese (both optional)
