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

In a separate skillet, warm the Canadian bacon until heated through.

Prepare the hollandaise sauce by whisking together the egg yolks, lemon juice, melted butter, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth.

Assemble by placing the warmed Canadian bacon on the muffin halves, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce.
