Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ultimate Breakfast Poutine
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss hash browns with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. While the hash browns bake, prepare beef bacon on a foil-lined sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  3. In a double boiler, whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk for 3-5 minutes until thick, then drizzle in warm melted butter.
  4. Poach eggs in simmering water with a splash of vinegar for 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove.
  5. Assemble poutine: Layer hash browns, sprinkle cheeses, pour gravy, then hollandaise. Top with bacon and poached egg, garnished with herbs.
