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

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- low-potassium fruit for garnish if desired
Preparation
- De-mineralize the Canadian bacon by placing in 2 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes.
Remove with slotted spoon and set on top of several paper towels to
absorb the moisture. Slice English muffins in half and toast them.
Cut Canadian bacon in half and place on top of each toasted muffin half.
- Combine vinegar with approximately one cup water in a large skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
- 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.
- Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of bacon and English muffin; cover and keep warm.
- Melt butter.
- Beat egg yolks over very light heat.
- Quickly add in melted butter, paprika and cayenne pepper.
- Beat in lemon juice until thick.
- Remove from heat and pour on top of English muffins.
- 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.
