Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English muffins (split in half)
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon
  • 4 eggs (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Toast the English muffins until golden brown.

  3. In a large pot, bring water to a simmer and add the white vinegar.
  4. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  7. Season with black pepper and garnish with paprika before serving.
