Start by making a blender hollandaise sauce.

Add 3 egg yolks to the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the blender.

Blend for about 10 seconds until mixed together.

Melt 1/2 cup of salted butter in a microwave-safe measuring cup.

While the butter is still hot, pour it into the blender with the egg yolk mixture while the blender is running, in a steady stream.

Set the hollandaise sauce aside in a warm place.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add slices of Canadian bacon to the skillet and fry until browned on each side, then set aside.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.

Crack eggs into individual bowls and create a whirlpool in the boiling water with a spoon.

Slide each egg into the whirlpool one at a time, waiting a moment before adding the next egg.

Cover the pot and turn off the heat, letting the eggs sit for 4 minutes.

Split English muffins in half and toast them in a toaster.

Assemble the dish by placing an English muffin half on a plate, topping it with Canadian bacon, then adding a poached egg.

Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the poached egg, season with salt and freshly cracked pepper, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
