Directions

Preheat the Fusion Griddle over medium-low heat.
Place the strips of bacon on one side of the griddle. Cook on both sides to desired doneness, then remove to rest on paper towels.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the savory French toast. Whisk together the eggs, milk and W sauce in a wide flat bowl. Dip each slice of sourdough in the mixture, coating both sides.
Place the pats of butter on the other side of the griddle to melt. Place the French toast on top of the melted butter and toast on both sides.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, two at a time, then transfer to the griddle, cooking them in the bacon fat. Close the lid and cook to desired doneness.
To make the hollandaise, first melt the butter with the black pepper in a small pot and bring it to 175ºF. Combine the egg yolks and hot sauce in a pint-sized mason jar. Blend the yolks with an immersion blended. Slowly pour a thin stream of melted butter into the yolk mixture until all of the butter is incorporated. You should have a thick, pale yellow hollandaise sauce. Thin with warm water, as needed.
To build the French toast, place two eggs on top of each slice of French toast. Top with two slices of bacon. Spoon the hollandaise over the bacon and garnish with micro greens.
