Ingredients
French fries: frozen or homemade
Cheese curds: fresh, squeaky
Eggs: poached or sunny-side-up
Hollandaise sauce: homemade or store-bought
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, fresh chives, sliced avocado, a squeeze of lemon, toasted nuts
Instructions
Prepare the fries: cook frozen fries according to package directions, or cut Russet potatoes into sticks, pat dry, toss with oil and salt, and bake or fry until golden and crisp.
Make the eggs: poach or fry eggs to your preference. For poaching, simmer water with vinegar, create a whirlpool, and slip in eggs for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warm the cheese curds briefly if desired: spread curds over hot fries so they begin to soften.
Plate the fries: transfer hot fries to a shallow serving plate in a single layer.
Add the curds and eggs: sprinkle cheese curds over the fries, then place the poached or fried eggs on top.
Drizzle the Hollandaise: spoon warm Hollandaise sauce over the eggs and curds.
Season and finish: add salt, black pepper, and any optional toppings.
Notes
Serve immediately to keep fries crispy and eggs warm. Optional toppings can enhance flavor and presentation.
