Introduction
A delicious twist on the classic breakfast dish featuring toasted English muffins, crispy seared Capicola ham, perfectly poached eggs, and a rich, velvety homemade Hollandaise sauce.
Step 1
Separate 1 egg yolk into a metal mixing bowl to prepare for the Hollandaise sauce.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water to create a double boiler. Whisk the egg yolk continuously using indirect heat.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk in a thin stream while whisking constantly to emulsify. Move the bowl on and off the heat occasionally to avoid scrambling the yolk.
Step 4
Squeeze in the lemon juice and add cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt to season the sauce.
Step 5
If the sauce is too thick, whisk in cold water to thin it out and brighten up the sauce.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
When using a double boiler, make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Patience is key when making Hollandaise; add the butter very slowly while whisking to prevent the emulsion from breaking.
Adding vinegar to the poaching water helps the egg whites coagulate faster and stay intact.
