Ingredients
175 gm black waffle
60 gm turkey
2 eggs, poached
70 gm Hollandaise
40 gm Caesar salad

Make the poached eggs and place them on top of the waffle. Top with Hollandaise sauce. Place the waffle opposite the salad. Cover the eggs with Hollandaise.
Prepare the Caesar salad and place it on parchment paper next to the shovel.
Decorate the salad with Parmesan cheese and sweet potato. Serve.
