Ingredients

Biscuits

  • 2 buttermilk biscuits, split and lightly toasted

Protein

  • 1 cup shredded roasted chicken or turkey

Eggs

  • 4 poached eggs

Sauce

  • 1 batch hollandaise sauce

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuits: Warm the buttermilk biscuits in the oven or toaster oven until they are soft inside and lightly crisp on the outside. Once warmed, split the biscuits in half carefully.
  2. Heat the chicken: Place the shredded roasted chicken in a pan and gently warm it up with a splash of broth or butter to keep it moist. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Poach the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites coagulate. Carefully poach the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  4. Make or warm hollandaise: Prepare your hollandaise sauce following your preferred recipe and keep it warm, but not hot, to ensure it stays smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble: Place the biscuit halves on individual plates and top each with a generous portion of the warm shredded chicken. Then, carefully place a poached egg on top of the chicken layers.
  6. Finish: Spoon hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired to add color and a fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best poaching results.
  • Adding a splash of vinegar to poaching water helps eggs keep their shape.
  • Keep hollandaise sauce warm but avoid overheating to prevent it from breaking.
  • Substitute turkey for chicken if preferred.
  • For a crispier biscuit, warm them in a toaster oven rather than microwave.
