Ingredients
- 6 Dempster’s® English Muffins (White), split and toasted
- 1 pkg (56 g) Hollandaise Dry Sauce Mix
- Butter
- 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder
- 12 eggs, poached
- 2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) salsa
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Poached Eggs:
- To poach eggs, fill a saucepan with enough water to come 3 inches (8 cm) upside of the pan; stir in 2 tbsp (30 mL) white vinegar and bring to simmer over medium heat.
- Vigorously stir the water to create a vortex.
- Break 1 egg (cold) into a small dish or saucer.
- Holding the dish just above simmering water, slip the egg into the water.
- Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook eggs, in barely simmering water, for 3 to 4 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired.
- Remove eggs with slotted spoon; place on paper towel–lined plate to drain.
Sandwich:
- Prepare hollandaise according to package directions, adding butter as required.
- Stir in chili powder.
- Spread 1/2 tsp (2 mL) butter over each toasted English muffin half.
- Top each muffin half with a few avocado slices, a dollop of salsa and a poached egg.
- Spoon chili hollandaise over top.
- Garnish with cilantro.
Tips: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over top before serving if desired.
