- 1 teas Dijon mustard
- 2 eggs
- 1 whole grain English muffin

- 1 to mato sliced
- fresh chives snipped

Crack the eggs, one at at time in a small bowl and drop each one into the pot carefully so to not splash. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are almost set. Remove the eggs gently with a slotted spoon.
- Meanwhile, toast the muffin. Top with the ham and tomato slices and place in the toaster oven for another minute (or under the broiler).
- Arrange the eggs over the sliced tomato and spoon a bit of the sour cream ‘hollandaise’ sauce over each.
