Step 1
Fry bacon in a skillet over medium-high until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Toast English muffins until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
Step 3
Fill a small pot with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle boil over high heat.

Crack eggs into separate cups. Slide each into simmering water and poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, about 3 minutes.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt until combined.
Step 6
Top each muffin half with bacon, a poached egg, and a drizzle of lemon butter. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
