Ingredients

  • 4 English muffins, split in half
  • 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 2 fresh ham steaks, about 6 ounces each
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 8 eggs, individually cracked into 8 cups
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon Creole Mustard
  • Salt
  • Cayenne
  • 1/2 pound butter, melted and warm
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mild herbs, such as tarragon, chervil, parsley, basil, etc.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ham steak and sear for a couple of minutes on each side. Remove the ham steaks and cut each into 8 portions. Bring a pot of salted water and vinegar to a boil. Slide the whole eggs into the water 1 at a time. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the eggs are set, watch carefully and remove the eggs when the yolks are still soft, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

Whisk the mixture until pale yellow and slightly thick. Be careful not to let the bowl touch the water.

    This is the perfect blend of goodness, has all the traditional elements of a complete breakfast but is arranged in a unique and mouth-watering way. I'm definitely going to make it again!
