Portions:  4

Serving size: 1/4 recipe 

Ingredients 

• two 2-ounce slices of low-sodium Canadian bacon
• 3 cups water (divided use)
• 2  English muffins (choose brand lowest in sodium)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter or margarine
• 3 egg yolks
• dash of cayenne pepper

• low-potassium fruit for garnish if desired

Preparation 

1. De-mineralize the Canadian bacon by placing in 2 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes.

4. Combine vinegar with approximately one cup water in a large skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
5. Break eggs one at a time and slip into the water to poach the eggs. Cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until eggs are at desired doneness.
6. Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of bacon and English muffin; cover and keep warm.
7. Melt butter.
8. Beat egg yolks over very light heat.
9. Quickly add in melted butter, paprika and cayenne pepper.
10. Beat in lemon juice until thick.
11. Remove from heat and pour on top of English muffins.
12. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices, strawberries and/or blueberries if desired.

Helpful Hints

• De-mineralizing the Canadian bacon should remove up to 50% of the phosphorus and up to 80% of the sodium and potassium.  If this step is skipped, the sodium content is too high for a kidney diet.
