Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- dash salt
- dash ground cayenne pepper
- 3 tomatoes, ends removed and halved
- 12 thin slices cooked ham
- 6 eggs
- 6 English muffins, split, toasted, and buttered
Preparation:
Place ham slices and tomato halves on rack of broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for about 4 minutes, or until ham begins to get browned and tomatoes are cooked through.
While ham is broiling, pour about 2 inches of water into a large skillet. Lightly salt water; bring to the boiling point. Carefully put eggs in water, breaking into a cup first, then gently slipping them into the water one at a time.
Simmer eggs, while basting with the water, for 3 to 5 minutes or until set. Remove with slotted spoon; drain.
On warm serving plates, place English muffins, 2 halves to each plate. Top halves with 2 slices of ham and a poached egg. Spoon a little sauce over the egg and place a thick slice of boiled tomato next to the egg.
