Ingredients:

Eggs:

4 round or oval slices deli ham about 2 ounce

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons melted butter

1 pinch salt

1 pinch cayenne pepper

Lemon Sauce:

1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter sliced

1 lemon juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

salt to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper or few drops of hot sauce to taste (optional

Assemble:

1 english muffin halved toasted and buttered

1 teaspoon freshly snipped chives to garnish

Directions:

Step.1

Preheat oven to (350 degrees F) (175 degrees C). Grease 2 (5 ounce) ramekins or the bottom of a standard muffin tin with melted butter.

Step.2

Place two slices of ham in each ramekin, making sure the edges are even on the top!

Step.3

Break one egg into a small bowl, gently pour it into the ham-lined ramekin, and do the same with the other egg. Season each egg with red pepper and salt to taste.

Step.4

Bake in the preheated oven until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are still soft and a little runny, about 23 to 25 minutes! And if the eggs are kept warm in the ramekins after they are removed from the oven, they will continue to cook and set more firmly!

Step.5

And when the eggs have 8 or 10 minutes left to cook, make the butter lemon sauce! Put the lemon juice, water, and salt in a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 1 or 2 minutes!

Step.6

Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, and add the (butter) cubes! And keep swirlin' the pan until the (butter) has melted, and then turn off the heat! And keep swirlin' the pan until the (butter) has melted completely! Taste and add (hot sauce) or cayenne pepper, if using! Place (the pan) in a warm place until needed! And the (sauce) will thicken a little as it cools!

Step.7

(Toast) an English muffin, and (butter) it, place the baked ham, and (egg) on half of the muffin, and pour (worm sauce) over it! And sprinkle (chives) on top and serve immediately!
