Servings: persons

2 Large eggs
1 English muffin, halved
2 Slices of good quality carved smoked ham from a deli or deli counter (from the bone)
1 Large vine tomato cut into 4, width ways
0.5 Avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced
2 Large egg yolks
0.5 tsp Tarragon or white wine vinegar
1 pinch Sea salt
1 Splash of ice cold water
125 g (4.4oz) Unsalted butter, ice cold and cut into cubes
1 Squeeze of lemon juice
1 pinch Cayenne pepper

1
Put two egg yolks (Gizzi uses free range), 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon or white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and a splash of ice-cold water in a metal or glass bowl that will fit over a small pan.
2
Whisk for a few minutes then put the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk continuously until pale and thick (about 3-5 minutes).
3
Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the cubes of butter, bit by bit until it's all incorporated and you have a creamy hollandaise (if it gets too thick, add a splash of water).
4
Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little cayenne pepper.
5
Keep warm until needed.
6
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil then poach two eggs for 3 minutes so the yolks are still soft.
7
Lift each one out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
8
To make eggs Benedict, toast 2 muffin halves, top each with a slice of ham, a slice of tomato, a few slices of avocado a poached egg and spoon over a generous helping of hollandaise.
