To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 2 slices of ham
- 4 asparagus spears
- 1 English muffin
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the ham slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until heated through. While the ham is cooking, prepare the asparagus by trimming the ends and blanching them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Next, prepare the hollandaise sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until light and frothy. Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To poach the egg, bring a pot of water to a simmer and add the white vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.
To assemble the dish, toast the English muffin and place a slice of ham on each half. Top with the blanched asparagus and the poached egg. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top and serve immediately.
