Make hollandaise sauce by whisking 4 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl over a double boiler.

Melt 1 stick of butter and slowly whisk it into the egg yolk mixture until thickened.

Keep the hollandaise sauce warm while poaching the eggs.

In a pan, bring water to a high simmer and add 1 teaspoon of distilled vinegar.

Create a whirlpool in the water and add the eggs to poach for about 4 minutes.

Toast the English muffins in a separate pan with butter until golden brown.

Warm the Canadian bacon in the same pan for about a minute on each side.

Assemble by placing Canadian bacon on the toasted English muffins, adding poached eggs, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce, then sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
