Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Hollandaise Sauce:

    In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened. Slowly add the melted butter while continuing to whisk until the sauce is thick. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

  2. Poach Eggs:

    Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  3. Prepare English Muffins and Bacon:

    Toast the English muffins and warm the Canadian bacon in a skillet.

  4. Assemble:

    Place a slice of bacon on each muffin half, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
