Bonjour my friends, I’m Frankie and welcome to Club Foody! For those who don’t know my origins,
I’m from Québec which is the birth place of a popular world famous dish… la poutine!
You know that plate of French Fries topped with curd cheese and a rich hot gravy… mmm, mmmm!
Besides my Poutine with Bacon Gravy and my Cajun Poutine, here’s another incredible one…
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to make my Eggs Benny Poutine!
If you want an original dish, this is the one!
Bringing classic Eggs Benedict and poutine together, we end up with a delicious combination!
It’s a flavorful twist on these two and I’m sure you’ll love it! So my friends, let’s get cooking!
We’ll go ahead and start prepping the ham. This is what I use… a nice smoked ham already precooked.
So what we’ll do is the slice it about ½-inch thick and then slice it again in strips before
cutting it into cubes. You can cut it smaller if you want but I think ½-inch is a good size.
All right, let’s move on to the stove. Here’s my homemade Hollandaise Sauce that you can get by
clicking on the top right corner of your screen and we’ll keep it warm while we look after the
other ingredients – and yes I know, my arm was in the way… sorry about that! This is our water with
some white vinegar that we’ll bring to a boil just like I showed you when I make my Eggs Benedict
and the link is on the top right corner of your screen. Next, in a medium skillet over medium
heat, we’ll add a couple tablespoons of butter and when it’s melted, we’ll add white onions and
red peppers. We’ll sauté the vegetables for about 2 minutes before adding our cubed
ham. Although it’s already precooked, we’ll sauté it to warm it up… about 2 minutes as well.
Now you know me with my freshly ground black pepper so we’ll add some, not a lot though.
You don’t have to but should you? Yes… and of course, we’ll stir it with the mixture. Because
everything has to be ready at the same time, we’ll turn off the heat and keep it on the burner while
looking after the eggs. Next, when they are almost done, we’ll start plating by spooning half of the
ham mixture onto some French Fries – to make them from scratch, you know what to do! Then we’ll add
the cheese curd followed by a couple soft boiled eggs ( I meant to say POACHED)… mmm, look at this and last but not least,
the Hollandaise Sauce… oh yeah! To garnish, we’ll sprinkle on some smoked paprika as it gives a
nice touch to the dish as well as fresh chopped chives… Mesdames, messieurs, breakfast is served!
And my friends, this is our Eggs Benny Poutine! If you’re thinking of serving an original food
item for your next brunch, don’t look any further! The combination is perfect and a
delicious way to enjoy both, eggs benedict and poutine together. This is definitely a must try…
