   Cook the Canadian Bacon

   In a skillet, heat the Canadian bacon over medium heat until browned on both sides.

   Poach the Eggs

   In a pan of simmering water with vinegar, crack the eggs into the water and poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

   Assemble the Dish

   On each toasted muffin half, place a slice of Canadian bacon, then a poached egg. Drizzle with Hollandaise sauce and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Season with black pepper.
