Ingredients
  

For the Poutine Base
  • 24 oz Frozen Hash Browns Perfectly crispy texture; freshly grated potatoes make for a delightful homemade alternative.
  • 4 large Eggs Adds rich protein; for a vegan twist, scrambled tofu works beautifully.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Prevents sticking and enhances flavor; any cooking oil can substitute.
  • 4 oz Bacon Brings a crispy savory layer; try turkey bacon or tempeh for a lighter option.
For the Cheeses
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Introduces a sharp, tangy punch; feel free to switch to Monterey Jack or gouda for a different taste.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Offers a creamy melt that's irresistible; a mix of cheeses can create varied flavor profiles.
For the Hollandaise Sauce
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Essential for richness and texture in hollandaise; control seasoning easily with unsalted butter.
  • 1 tbsp White Wine Vinegar Key for poaching eggs and balancing flavors; lemon juice can replace vinegar if needed.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the sauce perfectly; lime juice makes a great substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard Adds depth to your hollandaise; opt for a mild mustard if allergies are a concern.
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper A pinch enhances the flavor beautifully; adjust according to your spice preference.
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder Boosts the taste; sprinkle in moderation to avoid overpowering the sauce.
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for flavor enhancement; adjust to suit your palate.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Essential for flavor enhancement; adjust to suit your palate.
  • 1 cup Prepared Gravy Traditional for poutine; omit for a lighter dish or choose a vegetarian gravy alternative.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the frozen hash browns evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for optimal crispiness. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the hash browns are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add a tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and poach them for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  4. For hollandaise, set up a double boiler or place a glass bowl over simmering water. Whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Gradually whisk in melted unsalted butter until thick and creamy, then stir in lemon juice, cayenne, and garlic powder.
  5. Once hash browns are golden and crispy, layer them on plates followed by crumbled bacon and poached eggs. Generously drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the hot poutine, garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and herbs. Serve immediately.
