Toast the english muffins until golden brown.

Cook the prosciutto in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Fill a pot with water and add white vinegar; bring to a gentle simmer.

Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water one at a time.

Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.

Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat; whisk in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Slowly whisk in hollandaise sauce until smooth and warmed through.

Assemble the dish by placing a slice of prosciutto on each toasted muffin half.

Top each with a poached egg and drizzle with hollandaise sauce.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional black pepper.
