Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) white vinegar
  • 4 eggs, cold
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) basil pesto
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 slices ham
  • 2 jarred roasted peppers, halved and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Cracker Barrel Block – Old Cheddar

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. Fill saucepan with enough water to come 3 inches (8 cm) up side of pan; stir in vinegar and bring to simmer over medium heat.

  3. Remove eggs with slotted spoon; drain well on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread pesto over each toasted English muffin half; place on foil-lined baking sheet. Top with ham, roasted red peppers and poached eggs. Sprinkle with cheese.
  5. Broil for 2 to 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Sprinkle with chives.
