Eggs Benedict with Crispy Ham

Prep time: 2 min                           Cook time: 10 min                             Total time: 12 min

Yields 2 portions

Ingredients

1. 4 eggs;
2. 1 English muffin
3. Ham;
4. 30g of butter;
5. 2 tablespoons of White wine vinegar;
6. Olive oil;
7. Salt and pepper;
8. Green onions, chives or green herbs to garnish.

Preparation

Pre-step: have a large pot of water to poach the eggs on medium heat before starting. You're looking for a medium boil, if it's boiling too fast, your eggs will get all messy when you put them in.

1. Melt the butter in a small pan.
2. To make the hollandaise sauce, place your eggs in a double boiler with one tablespoon of white wine vinegar and salt and immediately start whisking.
3. Whisk continually, slowly adding the hot melted butter until thickened and smooth.
4. Warm a bit of olive oil in a frying pan on medium high heat and fry your ham until it crisps (don't burn it!).
5. In the same pan, toast your muffins until golden brown.
6. Add salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to your boiling water.
7. Using a wooden spoon, create a whirl in the water (not no whirly, just enough to keep the eggs from spreading all over).
8. Break the eggs in separate containers and drop them into the whirlpool in your pan about 5 apart from one another.
9. Let them cook until they come up to the top of the water pot and remove them onto a paper towel lined plate to remove excess water.

Assembly

1. Place your crispy fried ham over the muffin, followed by the poached egg and topped with the hollandaise sauce.
2. Garnish with greens and a sprinkle of pepper. Enjoy!
