Ingredients (Serves 2)

• Sourdough Bread: 2 thick slices, toasted to a golden crisp.
• Organic Eggs: 2 large eggs.
• Bacon: 2 slices, pan-fried until crispy.
• Unsalted Butter: 50g, for Hollandaise sauce.
• Egg Yolks: 2, for the sauce.
• Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon.
• Salt and Pepper: To taste.
• Microgreens or Fresh Basil: For garnish.

Instructions

1. Toast the Sourdough: Slice the sourdough into 1.5cm thick pieces and toast in the oven at 180°C for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp. Place on a Joelyns white porcelain plate for a touch of rustic elegance.
2. Cook the Bacon: Pan-fry the bacon without oil until crispy, then set aside.
3. Poach the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of white vinegar, and create a light whirlpool. Carefully drop in the eggs and poach for 3 minutes. Remove and drain.
4. Prepare Hollandaise Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks with lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), slowly drizzle in the melted butter, and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens smoothly. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble the Dish: Place the toasted sourdough on a Joelyns porcelain plate, layer with crispy bacon, a poached egg, and drizzle generously with Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with microgreens or a sprig of basil for a refined touch.
