1

Begin by making the hollandaise sauce with lemon juice, water, salt, and cayenne pepper.

2

Whip the eggs until light and frothy without heat for about a minute.

3

Place the bowl on top of a saucepan with a couple of inches of water at a medium boil.

4

Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the egg mixture and whisk for about 12-15 minutes until thickened.

5

Remove the hollandaise from heat and cover with a towel to keep warm.

6

Strain the eggs to remove loose whites for better poaching.

7

Add vinegar to the water in a large saucepan and create a vortex before adding the egg.

8

Poach the egg for about 3.5 minutes until the whites are set and yolk is runny.

9

Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and rest on a towel to dry.

10

Toast the English muffins and warm the prosciutto on top of them in the toaster oven.

11

Assemble by placing beefsteak tomato and avocado on the muffin, followed by the poached egg and hollandaise sauce.
