Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups frozen hash browns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Toppings

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices bacon
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups prepared gravy

For the Hollandaise Sauce

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bake the Hash Browns
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Spread hash browns on a baking sheet in an even layer.
    Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  • Cook the Bacon
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    Add bacon and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally.
    Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and crumble once cooled.
  • Cook the Eggs
    In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
    Cook eggs sunny-side up or scramble to your preference.
    Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Make the Hollandaise
    Prepare a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water.
    Whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice.
    Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until thick and creamy.
    Season with garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
    Keep warm until serving.
  • Assemble the Breakfast Poutine
    Place crispy hash browns on plates or a serving platter.
    Add the cooked eggs over the top.
    Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella evenly.
    Pour warm gravy across the dish.
    Drizzle generously with warm hollandaise.
    Finish with crumbled bacon and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Hollandaise should be served warm, not hot.
  • Adjust spice levels based on preference.
  • Great for brunch gatherings and weekend comfort food meals.
