Ingredients
    1 tbsp vinegar
    8 None large eggs
    4 None English muffins, halved, toasted
    2 1/2 tbsp butter
    2 cups baby arugula
    1.5 oz ham, thinly sliced
    None None FOR THE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
    3 None large egg yolks
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    12 tbsp butter, melted
Preparation
    To make the hollandaise sauce, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice over a double boiler. Whisk constantly for 1-2 mins, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat and add butter in a thin stream, whisking, until thickened. Season to taste. Keep warm.
    Bring a medium frying pan of water to a boil. Add vinegar and reduce heat to a simmer. Crack in eggs in batches of 2 or 4 (depending on size of pan). Poach for 2-3 mins, splashing water over eggs, until cooked to your liking.
    Spread butter over English muffins. Top with arugula and ham. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place on toasted muffins and top with hollandaise sauce and a grinding of pepper. Serve warm.
