Ingredients

1/2 English muffin
Butter
1 egg
2 slices Prosciutto di San Daniele
5-6 thin slices Grana Padano - A vegetable peeler is perfect for slicing the cheese.
2 tbsp hollandaise sauce - Use ready made for convenience.
Extra Proscuttio di San Daniele and Grana Padano for garnishing
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Warm the hollandaise sauce according to the instructions on the packet.
Break the egg into a small cup or ramekin dish. Lightly swirl some gently simmering water, and tip the egg into the middle of the saucepan.
Slice the muffin and toast one half. Spread with butter.
Lay the slices of Prosciutto di San Daniele on the muffin, and top with the slices of Grana Padano.
Once the egg white is cooked, but when the yolk is still runny, using a slotted spoon take the egg out of the saucepan. Pat dry with some kitchen paper, and place onto the muffin.
Spoon the warm hollandaise onto the egg
Top with little pieces of Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano.
Don't wait! Enjoy immediately.
