Ingredients<br />- 6 slices of Ham (Canadian-style Bacon)<br />- 6 eggs<br />- 3 egg yolks<br />- 1/2 tsp white vinegar<br />- 1/2 melted butter<br />- 4 Tbsp. lemon juice<br />- a pinch of salt<br />- a pinch of black pepper<br />- 3 English muffins (6 halves)<br /><br />Hollandaise sauce:<br /><br />1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water doesn’t touch the top bowl. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 1/2 tsp white vinegar until well mixed.<br /><br />2. Slowly pour the melted butter in the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, while constantly whisking. If you pour too much too quickly without whisking, the mixture might not thicken or mix properly. If the hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter is incorporated.<br /><br />3. Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt and pepper.<br /><br />Egg Cups<br /><br />1. Grease a large muffin tin. Place a slice of ham in each tin, then crack an egg over each slice of ham. Cover the tin in foil, then bake at 350˚F / 175˚C for 8-10 minutes (8 minutes if you like your yolk very runny).<br /><br />2. To plate: place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce over the egg. Enjoy!
