(makes 2 servings)

Muffins,  Eggs, and Meat:
2 sourdough* English muffins
2 Andouille sausages
Water
2 T. white distilled vinegar
4 eggs

Cajun Sauce:
Water
2 egg yolks
4 t. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. freshly* ground black pepper
1/2 t. dried thyme
1/8*-1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. chili powder
1 t. smoked* paprika
1 stick Kerrygold* butter, melted

Orange* and lemon* wedges, for garnish

Prep English muffins and sausages: In a toaster, toast English muffins to a golden brown. Place them on 2 plates, 1 muffin per plate, nook and crannies-side up. Split sausages down the middle lengthwise, cut them in half across the middle, and place in a small frying pan, over med.-high heat. Cook for 3-4 min., until the edges become browned. Flip and cook for an additional 3 min. Remove from pan and position 2 pieces of sausage on each muffin half. Set aside and keep warm*.
Poach eggs: Fill a med. saucepan half -full with water. Over med.-high heat, bring water to a boil. Add vinegar and stir. Crack 1 egg into a coffee cup. Position the cup so it is just above the water, but not touching the water. Slowly and gently turn the egg out of the cup and into the water. Cook for 3 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and place it atop the sausage on one of the muffin halves. Repeat for the remaining 3 eggs. Keep warm*.
Make the sauce: Fill a small saucepan with 2 " of water. Place a large bowl on top of the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't tough the water. Add the yolks, lemon juice, and spices to the bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are full combined. Move the bowl to a countertop. Using a hand mixer, begin slowly drizzling the butter into the sauce. The butter will emulsify the sauce.
Serve: Pour the sauce over the tops of the egg-sausage-muffin stacks and garnish the plate with orange  and lemon wedges*.
