Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 bag frozen tater tots
  2. 4 large eggs
  3. 1/2 cup hollandaise sauce
  4. 4 slices Canadian bacon
  5. 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place frozen tater tots directly into the waffle iron, filling the entire surface. Press down firmly and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tater tots form a crispy, golden-brown waffle with interconnected edges.
  3. While the tater tot waffles are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the Canadian bacon slices, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  4. Prepare the hollandaise sauce by whisking egg yolks, melted butter, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a double boiler until smooth and creamy.
  5. Bring a separate pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of white vinegar for poaching eggs.
  6. Crack each egg into a small ramekin, then carefully slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  7. Remove tater tot waffles from the iron and place on serving plates.
  8. Top each waffle with a slice of Canadian bacon, then carefully place a poached egg on top.
  9. Generously drizzle hollandaise sauce over each egg, ensuring complete coverage.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately while everything is hot and crispy.

Tips

  1. Waffle Iron Magic: Ensure your waffle iron is preheated and well-sprayed to prevent sticking. The key to perfect tater tot waffles is pressing down firmly and allowing enough cooking time for a crispy exterior.
  2. Poaching Perfection: Add a splash of white vinegar to your simmering water, which helps the egg whites coagulate more quickly and creates neater poached eggs.
  3. Hollandaise Hack: Use a double boiler to prevent your sauce from breaking, and whisk constantly for a smooth, creamy texture. If it starts to separate, add a tiny splash of warm water to re-emulsify.
  4. Timing is Everything: Coordinate your cooking stages so everything is hot and fresh when serving. Tater tot waffles can be kept warm in a low oven while you finish poaching eggs and preparing the sauce.
  5. Garnish Generously: Don't skimp on the chopped chives - they add a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color that makes the dish look as good as it tastes!
