Scale

2 english muffins ,cut in half and toasted

4 slices canadian bacon

4 poached eggs

2 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice

1/2 teaspoon finely grated grapefruit zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice

2 large egg yolks 

2 tbl water

Whisk together egg yolks and 2 tablespoons water in a heatproof bowl until doubled in size and pale in color.  Set the bowl over a double boiler until mixture doubles in size and begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Add half of citrus juices and whisk constantly, until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Gently warm over a double boiler before serving.
