Poutine: A Canadian Classic Finds Its Way to Breakfast

At The English Muffin, there’s something on our breakfast menu that might surprise you: poutine. Traditionally considered a lunch or dinner option, this iconic Canadian dish is actually a delightful breakfast option.

 

Unsure about poutine for breakfast? Join us as we show you why it’s a great idea.

 

Origins in Rural Quebec

The origins of poutine lie in rural Quebec in the late 1950s. The story goes that a restaurant owner named Fernand Lachance created this savory masterpiece when a customer requested cheese curds on their fries. The combination of crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and rich gravy gave birth to this staple of Canadian cuisine.

 

Classic Comfort Food

So, why has poutine become a surprising but irresistible addition to our menu? One word: comfort. Poutine embodies the essence of comfort food: a hearty combination of familiar flavors that deliver warmth and satisfaction. Our innovative twist on this classic includes a breakfast-friendly version. We start with a base of perfectly cooked homefries and top them with two eggs, cheese curds, and brown gravy. We can’t think of a better combo to start your day.

 

Culinary Creativity

The appeal of our poutine lies in its versatility. This dish marries breakfast staples with the indulgent flavors of a beloved Canadian classic. As you savor each bite, you’ll experience the delightful collision of textures and tastes, making for a memorable morning meal.
