Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Melt the butter and keep it warm. Separate 4 eggs, keeping the yolks.
  2. Whisk the yolks with a squeeze of lemon over a pan of barely simmering water until thick and pale.
  3. Drizzle in the warm butter slowly, whisking constantly, until the hollandaise coats a spoon. Season and keep warm.
  4. Bring a wide pan of water to a bare simmer with the vinegar and poach the remaining 4 eggs for 3 minutes.
  5. Toast the muffins and warm the Canadian bacon in a dry pan.
  6. Stack muffin, bacon, egg and hollandaise, and finish with cayenne.
