There are lots of ways to spruce up a traditional French Canadian poutine, including a little brunch infusion with Eggs Benedict poutine. In addition to your classic french fries, gravy and cheese curds, this dish adds Hollandaise sauce, a poached egg and diced Canadian bacon. Created by food blogger Nick Chipman of DudeFoods, the Poutine Benedict recipe is for people who enjoy food mashups that are in no way good for you.
The Eggs Benedict poutine is extremely easy to make, as you can essentially garner what goes in it by looking at the photo. Even though Chipman debated whether to use just gravy or only Hollandaise sauce, in the end the combination of the two "actually go pretty well together."
