    Difficulty: MEDIUM

    Prep Time: 15 minutes

    Cook Time: 20 minutes

    Total Time: 35 minutes

    Serving Size: Serves 2

    Ingredients:

    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
    • 8 slices of prosciutto
    • 1/4 cup white vinegar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 2 large egg yolks
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon truffle oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Chopped chives for garnish

    Directions:

    1. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar.
    2. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
    3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice. Gradually whisk in the melted butter to create a hollandaise sauce. Stir in the truffle oil and season with salt and pepper.
    4. To assemble, place a slice of prosciutto on each toasted English muffin half, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with the truffle hollandaise sauce.
    5. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
