Ingredients

  • tbsp citrus champagne vinegar 
  • large eggs free range
  •  toasting muffins 
  •  batch hollandaise sauce hot well (see 'Goes with' below)
  • slices parma ham (or Serrano or Bayonne)

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • ramekin
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Bring a deep saucepan of water to the boil (at least 2 litres) and add the vinegar. Break the eggs into 4 separate coffee cups or ramekins. Split the muffins, toast them and warm some plates.
  2. Swirl the vinegared water briskly to form a vortex and slide in an egg. It will curl round and set to a neat round shape. Cook for 2-3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  3. Repeat with the other eggs, one at a time, re-swirling the water as you slide in the eggs.
  4. Spread some sauce on each muffin, scrunch a slice of ham on top, then top with an egg. Spoon over the remaining hollandaise and serve at once.
