Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Gradually whisk in melted butter until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    In a large pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Toast the Muffins

    Split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a slice of ham on each toasted muffin half. Top with a poached egg, then drizzle generously with Hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
