2 English muffins, halved & buttered
4 poached eggs
4 slices ham
Toast muffins until lightly browned and butter. Top each muffin half with a slice of ham, 1 poached egg, and cover with hollandaise sauce.
Hollandaise sauce:
3 egg yolks
2 T lemon juice
1/2 c butter
1/4 t salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
Beat egg yolks in top of double boiler; gradually add lemon juice to egg yolks, stirring constantly. Add about 1/3 of butter to egg mixture; cook over hot (not boiling) water, stirring constantly, until butter melts. Add another third of butter, stirring constantly; as sauce thickens, stir in remaining butter. Stir in salt and cayenne; cook until thickened. Yield: about 1/2 cup. Note: Knorr Hollandaise Sauce is an excellent and easy substitute.
