Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 English muffins, split
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- Hollandaise sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with 2-3 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil and add the white vinegar.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Crack one egg into a small bowl or cup and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

- To assemble, place a slice of Canadian bacon on each toasted English muffin half. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice of bacon.
