Prepare sauce first by beating egg yolks with a wire whisk in a double boiler. Over  
low heat add pieces of butter a little at a time, beating until dissolved. After all  
butter has been combined, add lemon juice and water. Raise heat to almost  
boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until thickened. Add a dash of  
Tabasco® sauce.  
Next, prepare eggs. Experiment with egg first. Into a large boiler put 6 inches of  
water, vinegar and salt. Heat water until just boiling. Stir water and ease egg into  
water. Cook for 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 minutes. Keep water swirling. Remove eggs with a  
slotted spoon. Toast muffins; top with ham or Canadian bacon; toast again. Add  
egg, sauce and paprika to toasted muffin.
