Golden toasted English muffins topped with warm Canadian bacon and a perfectly poached egg make for a brunch classic that's just as satisfying in miniature. The real star here is the silky hollandaise, whisked over gentle heat with egg yolks, a bright squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne until it turns glossy and rich enough to coat the back of a spoon. Each bite balances that lush, tangy sauce against the salty bacon and creamy yolk underneath, with a scatter of fresh chives adding a pop of color and sharpness on top. It's an elegant little stack that comes together with restaurant-level polish, no special equipment required beyond a saucepan and a steady whisking arm. This version fits neatly into a dairy free brunch spread without sacrificing that classic, decadent hollandaise experience.
