  1. Toast the English muffins until they are lightly golden and crisp. Set aside on a warm plate.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until slightly browned and warm. Place on top of the toasted English muffin halves.
  3. Fill a saucepan with water, add a splash of vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into the water one at a time, poaching them for about 4 minutes, until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on top of the bacon.
  4. Melt butter in a small pot. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and cream. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over each poached egg. Serve immediately.
