Eggs Benedict English Muffin

4 farm fresh eggs
4 slices country ham, cut thick
1 tbsp. of vinegar
2 English Muffins, split

Hollandaise:
4 egg yolks
3½ tbsp. lemon juice
1 pinch ground white pepper
⅛ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp. water
1 pinch of salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Directions for Hollandaise Sauce:
Simmer water in a double boiler. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce and a little water in the top of the double boiler. Whisk the mixture as it heats. Once the egg mixture is thickened and heated, add the butter to the egg mixture slowly while whisking. Add dill and pinch of salt to taste. If the Hollandaise gets too thick, whisk in a little warm water to thin the mixture. Remove from the heat.

Eggs, Ham & Muffins:
Over medium heat, cook the ham in a skillet and let rest on paper towel until assembling. Place about four inches of water in a pan and bring to gentle simmer. Add the vinegar. Carefully break eggs into the simmering water and cook for 2½ to 3 minutes. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and rest on a warm plate. Split and toast Thomas’® Original English Muffins until golden. Lightly spread split side with butter and place on plate. Layer a slice of ham and then place the warm, poached egg on the top of the stack. Finish with a generous drizzle of Hollandaise just before serving.

Surf-N-Turf English Muffin

1 English Muffin, split  to preserve the nooks and crannies
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp minced garlic

4 oz sirloin
3 oz fresh lobster meat
1 whole egg
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
16 Tbsp butter (to clarify)
Picture

Directions:
1. Pour roughly 1 cup of water into a saucepan and set the burner to medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.
2. Heat a separate saucepan over medium heat. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat and place the sirloin into the pan. Sear for roughly 4 minutes. Turn and sear for an additional 4 minutes (sear longer if you prefer a more thoroughly cooked steak). About 2 minutes before removing the steak from the pan, add garlic and onion to the saucepan. Remove the sirloin from the pan and let rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before slicing.
3. While the steak is resting, add the butter to clarify to the pan with the garlic and onion in which the steak was cooked. This will allow the remnants to enrich the clarified butter and provide an incredibly delicious Hollandaise.
4. Melt slowly over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Skim the foam from the top, and slowly pour into a container, discarding the white milk solids in the bottom of pan.
5. Quickly poach the lobster in the warm clarified butter. This again enriches the sauce that really makes the dish really pop.
6. Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 2 minutes or until the mixture has slightly thickened and warmed.
7. Remove the bowl from over the pan very slowly and whisk your clarified butter into the bowl until all of the butter is incorporated. This step must be done very carefully so the Hollandaise does not separate. If needed, place the bowl back over the simmering water so that it will be warm enough to incorporate the butter. If the hollandaise is too thick, add a Tbsp of the hot water to thin it out. Reserve a little bit of butter to fry the egg.
8. In a separate pan, pan-fry the egg.
9. To plate this dish, thinly slice the rested sirloin. Toast the English Muffin to a beautiful golden brown.
