STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Poach four eggs in simmering water with a splash of vinegar until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
💡 Flow tip: Create a gentle whirlpool in the water before dropping eggs to keep whites tight.
2. In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne; blend on low for 20 seconds.
💡 Flow tip: Warming the blender jar with hot water first helps prevent the sauce from breaking.
3. Slowly drizzle the melted cannabutter into the blender while running to create a thick, infused hollandaise.
💡 Flow tip: If too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to reach desired consistency.
4. Toast brioche slices and top with seared Canadian bacon and the poached eggs.
💡 Flow tip: Butter the brioche with standard butter first for extra richness.
5. Generously drape the infused hollandaise over the eggs and garnish with fresh chives and smoked paprika.
💡 Flow tip: Serve immediately to ensure the hollandaise stays emulsified.
