Step 1
Toast English muffins until golden. Meanwhile, warm butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 2
Whisk the single egg yolk with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Drizzle in warm butter while whisking until pale and thick.
Step 3
Bring a shallow skillet of salted water to a gentle simmer. Add Canadian bacon slices and warm through, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Gently slide 4 eggs into the simmering water. Poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Place muffin halves on plates. Top each with 1 slice warm Canadian bacon, then 1 poached egg.
Step 6
Spoon hollandaise over eggs. Season with salt and pepper, then serve immediately.
