After dropping in the last end        bit of butter into the pan, melting it, and putting in        a tablespoon of flour, I let it turn tan before slowly        putting in the stock. It immediately turned semi-solid.                Cooking magic!                I tried to make the hot dog as bacon-y as possible by        cutting them in half, then splitting them lengthwise        into 3-4 slices. For some extra flavor and crispness,        I sauteed them in some peanut oil on medium heat until        they got some color, then set them aside.                After adding all the stock and whisking like the        industrious, neurotic person I am, I let it keep warm        by improvising with a rimmed bowl perched over a pot        of simmering water, plus the occasional whisk.                Then it was onto the poached egg. This should be your        last step. I'd never made this successfully before.        Mark Bittman had me do this in a deep frying pan, which        seemed to make it a lot less scary and easier to get the        eggs out. You have to crack each egg in a shallow bowl,        then slowly slide them into gently boiling water. After        about two minutes, ladle them out in a slotted spoon.        (I just used a flipper/spatula thingy with two slots in        it. Ghetto.)                Assemble like so, bottom up: muffin slice, hot dogs,        egg, sauce. I shaved some extra sharp cheddar over        there for extra trashy flavor. Season liberally with        salt and pepper.                From: http://lingboli.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
