Melt the butter in a small saucepan. In a separate smallbowl, beat the egg yolks. Mix in lime juice, whipping cream, and salt andpepper.
add a small spoonful of the hot melted butter to the eggmixture and stir well. Repeat this process adding a spoonful at a time of hot butter to the egg mixture.(adding the butter slowly, a spoonful at a time, will temper the eggs andensure they don’t curdle).
Once the butter has been incorporated, pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for just 20-30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the eggs in simmering water for 3-5 minutes, depending on how soft you want your egg yolk. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon.
** it is not abnormal for a white foam to form on top of the water when poaching an egg. You can simple skim the foam off the water with a spoon.
While the egg is cooking, place the slices of Canadian bacon in a large pan and cook on medium-high heat for about 1 minute on each side.
