In a blender, combine egg yolks, mustard, and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Place butter in a separate microwave safe container and microwave until melted. With the blender running, slowly pour hot butter in a steady stream. Sauce will thicken. Set aside in a warm place.

Step 5

Place 1/2 of a toasted English muffin onto a plate. Top with toasted Canadian bacon. Slide poached egg on top and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with chopped parsley.
