Why not both? Replace the Canadian bacon (always the slacker in the equation, IMHO) with a crab cake!
Great, now I’m drooling. I’d try it once, at least!
Here’s the method I use, using an older Braun immersion blender and the cup that came with it. I’ve done a double batch in the cup without a problem, which is enough for 6-8 people:
It so happens we’re having crab cakes tonight, so I may try that.
There’s a place for smoke salmon in that stack, right? RIGHT??
LOL, oh, hell to the yes! I just smoked some salmon on Saturday (alliteration for free). My breakfast plans are changing by the moment!
I think the smoke would overpower the crab.
Hot or cold smoked? I’ve never done cold smoked myself.
You’d definitely have to use it sparingly. And probably not the highest and best use of smoked salmon, but worth trying once, perhaps?
I only do hot smoked, not a fan of the texture of cold smoked. I’ll eat cold smoked if nothing else is on offer, but my preference is strong for the hot smoked type.
I’m thinking (bottom to top): Crab cake, egg with nice runny yolk, hollandaise, several dashes of Franks, and a soupçon of smoked salmon to complete the pile.
Leave out the hot sauce and I’m all in.
I really like the tartness of hollandaise, though, so i may be a hollandaise purist.
I learned to make Hollandaise about 40 years ago on a cheap and nasty electric stove. The burners didn’t have a setting cool enough to make it without curdling, so I would turn on the oven and use the space between the burners as my heat source to make the sauce.
I think that’s the mistake most people make: Too much heat.
The one time I tried to make it on the stove, it broke and was gross.
Now, that works.
I still make it on a stove, only now I have gas burners with settings so low, the sauce breaking isn’t an issue. The blender method is a very popular one for a reason.
Agree completely. I’ve never liked the texture of lox or its kin.
You can always tell who the West Coast people are. 
I grew up in Alaska, where most people have backyard smokers.
Yes, I recall that. My ex-husband (not to be confused with my late husband) lived in AK for quite a number of years and loved it. He always wanted to get back there.
FWIW, I consider Alaska the West Coast – although I suppose an argument could be made that it can be the South and East Coast, too.
And now we’re far afield of the OP’s question and should probably carry on any further discussions in a more general thread like this one:
