Ingredients
-
1 lb frozen fries or breakfast potatoes
-
4 large eggs
-
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or cheese curds)
-
1 cup warm gravy or hollandaise sauce
-
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (optional)
-
2 green onions, sliced (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Cook the fries according to package directions (or your preferred method) until deeply golden and crispy. Season lightly with salt.
-
Cook the eggs while the fries are cooking. Fry, poach, or scramble them to your preferred doneness. Keep warm.
-
Warm the sauce (gravy or hollandaise) over low heat until smooth and pourable. Do not boil.
-
Assemble the poutine: Spread the hot fries onto a serving plate or bowl. Sprinkle cheese over the fries so it melts slightly.
-
Add the eggs on top, followed by bacon if using.
-
Pour the sauce last, right before serving. Garnish with green onions, black pepper, and hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Frozen fries work perfectly — just make sure they’re extra crispy.
-
Always pour the sauce right before serving to prevent soggy fries.
-
Gravy is the most forgiving option if this is your first time making breakfast poutine.
-
For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and use vegetarian gravy or hollandaise.
