Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 8 large eggs
• 8 ounces thinly sliced smoked ham
• 4 English muffins, split and toasted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

for the hollandaise sauce

• 3 large pasteurized egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• Heat 3 inches water and vinegar in a wide, shallow saucepan or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer.
• Crack each egg into a separate bowl or small ramekin. Working carefully, gently slide each egg into the saucepan.
• Cook, undisturbed, until whites are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove eggs and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, cook ham until lightly browned and heated through, about 1-2 minutes per side.
• Place English muffins open-faced on a platter. Top evenly with ham and eggs, drizzling the tops with hollandaise sauce, garnished with chives and dill, if desired.
• Serve immediately.
