Step 1
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.
Step 2
Split English muffins and toast them in the same skillet until golden, about 3 minutes total.
Step 3
Melt 4 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and thick, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Fill a shallow pan with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a cup and slide into water.
Step 5
Poach eggs until whites set but yolks jiggle slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 6
Stack muffin halves with bacon and a poached egg each. Drizzle hollandaise on top and serve immediately.
