Eggs and Toppings

Method

Eggs Poaching and Assembly

  1. 1

    Toast Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    In a large saucepan, bring the water and white vinegar to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a slice of smoked ham or a handful of sautéed spinach on each toasted muffin half. Top with a poached egg and generously spoon the prepared Mornay sauce over the top.

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and season with additional salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
