Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a skillet over medium. Toast English muffins cut-side down until golden, ~3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, warm Canadian bacon slices 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add spring greens to the skillet with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until wilted, ~2 minutes. Push to the edge.

  4. Step 4

    Fill the skillet with 2 inches of water. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into the water and poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    While eggs cook, melt butter in a small bowl or cup. Whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Assemble: muffins on plate, top each with bacon, then a poached egg, then drizzle hollandaise. Serve with wilted greens and apple slices.
