Toast English muffins until golden brown.

In a saucepan, bring water and white vinegar to a gentle simmer.

Crack eggs into small bowls, then slide them into the simmering water one at a time.

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

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

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt for Hollandaise sauce.

Melt butter and slowly drizzle it into the yolk mixture while whisking.

Continue whisking until the sauce is thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes.

Season Hollandaise with black pepper and paprika to taste.

Assemble by placing ham on toasted English muffins, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling with Hollandaise sauce.
