Step 1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk egg yolks with lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Remove butter from heat. Slowly whisk melted butter into eggs, stirring constantly until sauce is thick and pale, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium. Toast English muffins until golden. Warm Canadian bacon in the same skillet, ~1 minute per side.
Step 4
Bring a pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Crack eggs into water and poach until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Toss spinach with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of the warm hollandaise. Divide between two plates.
Step 6
Stack muffin, bacon, and poached egg on each plate. Spoon remaining hollandaise over eggs. Serve immediately.
