Directions
1.
For the main dish, fill a large skillet halfway with water, add a splash of vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer.

While the water heats, butter one side of each slice of bread and grill on a hot pan until golden. Set aside.

In the same pan, grill Smithfield Anytime Favorites ham slices until warm and slightly crisp on the edges.
4.
Crack eggs into the simmering water to poach for 3–4 minutes, until whites are set and yolks are still soft. Drain on paper towels.
5.
Spread each piece of grilled bread with a thin layer of orange marmalade.
6.
Top with one slice of grilled ham and a poached egg.
7.
Drizzle with orange hollandaise and finish with a sprinkle of orange zest.

To start the hollandaise, combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tbsp orange juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender.
9.
Slowly blend in ½ cup melted butter until smooth and frothy. Thin with warm water if needed.
