Ingredients
- Frozen French Fries, crispy variety
- Cooked Chicken or Turkey, shredded
- Shredded Cheese, cheese curds preferred
- Eggs, poached or fried
- Chicken Broth, for gravy
- Cornstarch, for thickening
- Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
- Energized Egg Yolks, at room temperature
- Butter, unsalted, melted and cooled
- Pepper, freshly cracked
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread frozen French fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake them according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy.
- About halfway through the baking time, give them a good shake so they crisp evenly.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed in 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
- Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- If you're using pre-cooked chicken or turkey, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- If you're starting from scratch, sauté diced chicken in a pan over medium heat until fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes).
- Toss it in with your prepared gravy until coated well.
- In another bowl, whisk together 3 energized egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until frothy.
- Slowly drizzle in melted unsalted butter while continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Breakfast Poutine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, it’s recommended to store the fries, chicken, and sauce separately, if possible.
Reheating: To reheat, place the poutine in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This helps to keep the fries crispy. You can also microwave the components separately, but the fries may lose their crunch.
Serving: Serve the Breakfast Poutine hot, topped with poached or fried eggs and a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce. Garnish with additional pepper or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra touch, consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the chicken before mixing with the gravy. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a nutritious element to your dish.
