17. Spin the water around to make a little whirlpool.

19. After they are cooked and start to move their way up to the top of the water, take them off.
20. Take off any excess little bits of egg white.
21. Drain off excess water with a piece of tissue paper.
22. Lay a nice slice of Parma ham on the base and top with poached egg.

## Equipment

- pan
- glass bowl
- wooden board
- knife
- whisker
- pot
- spoon
- cup
- tissue paper
- fork

## Tips

- If you don't whisk the ingredients for the hollandaise sauce enough, the egg yolks won't take the butter and it will cause it to split.
- Cook muffins nicely toasted to prevent them from going soggy later.
- Add a splash of vinegar in the water to help set the egg white when you crack it in.
