Brunch Culture
Eggs Benedict variations are a brunch staple. This dish builds on that tradition to create an satisfying meal.
Petinos potatoes
Petinos is a Canadian breakfast restaurant chain. The inclusion of their style potatoes adds a unique regional element that many Canadians will recognize.
Rich, savory, and slightly tangy, with a balance of textures from soft eggs, crisp muffin, creamy hollandaise, salty meat, and the seasoned potatoes.
The hollandaise sauce contributes a buttery, lemony richness, while the poached eggs provide a runny yolk that adds further depth. The ham, bacon, or sausage introduces salty, savory notes. The English muffin offers a neutral, slightly chewy base. Petinos potatoes are typically seasoned with herbs and spices, providing a savory and slightly spicy counterpoint.
Hollandaise consistency
Ensure the hollandaise sauce is thick and creamy. Use a double boiler or whisk constantly over low heat to prevent curdling. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the flavor.
Perfect Poached Eggs
Add a splash of vinegar to the poaching water to help the egg whites coagulate quickly. Swirl the water gently before adding the eggs to help them form a nice shape. Aim for a runny yolk and set whites.
Toasting the Muffin
Toast the English muffin until golden brown and slightly crisp for a textural contrast.
Potato Seasoning
For 'Petinos' style potatoes, consider using a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick.
