    1. First, make the Hollandaise sauce:
    • in a small bowl, beat the egg yolks until they thicken and double in volume (on high speed, about 2–3 minutes);
    • gently drizzle in the melted butter, whisking to keep a thick consistency;
    • add the mustard, salt, and cayenne, pour in the lemon juice, whisk together, and set aside in a warm spot.
    1. Cut the bacon into four strips and fry until crisp on both sides.
    1. Toast the slices of bread until lightly golden.
    1. Poach the eggs:
    • pour the water (1 liter) into a pot, add the vinegar and salt, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to the minimum;
    • crack an egg into a cup and, holding it just above the water, quickly tip the egg into the pot. Poach for 2–3 minutes, then lift it out with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
    1. Top each piece of toasted bread with bacon, then an egg, and spoon the Hollandaise sauce over everything.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
