For the Hash Brown Base
- 4 cups Frozen Hash Browns (homemade hash browns can be used for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (can be swapped for another cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to your liking)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (personalize based on heat preference)
For the Toppings
- 4 large Eggs (can be poached or scrambled)
- 6 slices Bacon (consider turkey bacon or chicken sausage as alternatives)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded; substitute with Monterey Jack or gouda)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded; other melting cheeses can be used)
- 1 cup Gravy (homemade or store-bought works well)
For the Hollandaise Sauce
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (salted butter is okay, adjust salt as needed)
- 3 large Egg Yolks (non-dairy substitutes can replace them)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (experiment with other mustards)
- 1 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar (lemon juice can serve as a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (fresh juice yields the best results)
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional for heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder (fresh garlic can be used)
- Preheat and Bake Hash Browns: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread frozen hash browns evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the hash browns and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden brown.
- Cook Bacon: While the hash browns are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped bacon and cook for 6–8 minutes until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble into pieces, and set aside.
- Cook Eggs: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook to your preference (about 3–4 minutes for sunny-side up). Season with salt and pepper. Remove and keep warm.
- Prepare Hollandaise Sauce: Set up a double boiler. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar for 2 minutes. Slowly drizzle in melted unsalted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Stir in lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to finish the sauce.
- Assemble the Poutine: Layer the crispy hash browns on a serving plate. Top with cooked eggs, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Drizzle warm gravy over the dish.
- Finish with Hollandaise and Bacon: Generously spoon hollandaise sauce over the top and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For the best texture, serve immediately after preparing to enjoy crispy hash browns and warm sauce.
- Feel free to substitute bacon with turkey bacon or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option.
- Homemade gravy and hash browns enhance flavor but store-bought versions work perfectly for convenience.
