Preparation steps

1.
Over a double boiler, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, pepper, Worcestershire and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk in melted butter and continue whisking until mixture is combined and begins to thicken. Stir in salt. Take pan off of heat and reserve hollandaise in a warm place.
2.
Meanwhile, fill a deep skillet with about 3 inches of water. Bring water to a low boil and add vinegar. Break eggs one at a time into water. It may be easier to break eggs into a bowl and pour them into the water. Poach eggs 2 to 3 minutes, until white has solidified and yolk is still runny. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.
3.
While eggs are poaching, brown ham in a buttered skillet and toast English muffins. To assemble, spread butter on muffins and top with ham, then eggs, then drizzle with hollandaise. Sprinkle with fresh chives if desired.
