Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the tater tots and French fries in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tots and fries are browned and crisp.
- To make the hollandaise sauce: Place the egg yolks and lemon juice in a stainless steel or heatproof glass bowl. Whisk together until the mixture doubles in volume. Place this bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Begin whisking continuously. While whisking, slowly add the melted butter in a steady stream until fully incorporated and the hollandaise is thick and smooth. The sauce will gradually thicken as you add the butter. Stir in the cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap, and set aside.
- For the scrambled eggs: Heat a nonstick pan over medium to medium-low heat and melt the butter. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a rubber spatula. Continue stirring until small curds form and the eggs are just set. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble: Combine the baked tots, French fries, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, and cheese curds in a bowl. Spread this mixture onto a baking sheet. Place under the broiler for 1 minute, or until the cheese curds melt.
- Remove the poutine from the broiler. Drizzle with the hollandaise sauce and finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
