Instructions

Advertising
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. (This is optional, cook time may take 1-2 minutes longer if you do
    not preheat the air fryer)
  2. While the air fryer is heating, prepare the hollandaise sauce.
  3. Place 4 large egg yolks, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in the
    bowl of a food processor (you can also use a blender or whisk by hand).
  4. Turn on the food processor and blend egg yolks until they have lightened in color and are a
    paler yellow.
  5. With the top of the food processor open, slowly drizzle the melted butter (best if the butter is
    hot) into the egg yolk mixture with the machine turned on. Drizzle in the butter as slowly as
    possible. Once the butter is fully incorporated, continue mixing for about one minute (or
    longer if whisking by hand) until the sauce is fully incorporated and is slightly thickened. Set
    aside.
  6. Open up the English muffins and place them in the air fryer basket (it shouldn’t make a
    difference if they are face up or face down.) Place the slices of Canadian bacon into the
    basket as well (you can do this in batches or all at once, depending on the size of your
    basket.)
  7. Place the basket into the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 2 minutes or until the bread is
    toasted, and the Canadian bacon is heated through.
  8. Remove items from the basket and set them aside (keep warm if possible).
  9. To “poach” the eggs, place heat-safe mini ramekins or small glass bowls into the air fryer
    basket. Spray the bowls with non-stick cooking spray and fill each with 2 tablespoons of
    water.
  10. Crack an egg into each bowl. Cook in the air fryer at 360°F for about 4-5 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile, assemble each piece of Canadian bacon on top of each toasted English muffin.
  12. When the eggs finish cooking, use a small spatula to lift the egg from any remaining water
    and turn it upside down over the Canadian bacon. (If you’ve used a small rounded bowl, you
    should have a nicely domed shape that looks close in shape to a traditional poached egg.)
  13. Top each tower with hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with chives for garnish.
  14. Plate, serve, and enjoy!–Serve immediately.
