Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen French fries
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cheese curds
- 1 cup gravy
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the French fries according to package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, let’s make the creamy hollandaise sauce. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until combined and pale.
- In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it’s foamy and hot.
- Gradually pour the hot butter into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, then season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer and poach the eggs to your desired doneness.
- Place the crispy fries on a serving plate, generously top them with cheese curds, and ladle over the hot gravy. Carefully place the poached eggs on top.
- Finish this masterpiece by drizzling the creamy hollandaise sauce over everything. Sprinkle with chopped chives for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately.
Notes
If leftovers remain, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven, but avoid overcooking the eggs.
