Crack an egg into each muffin cup, leaving the yolks intact.

Wrap the Canadian bacon
Lay out a square of foil and stack the Canadian bacon slices in 2 stacks in the middle. Wrap the bacon tightly in the foil.

Preheat the June Oven
With the shelf in the middle position, preheat the June Oven to 350°F on the Bake cook mode using the button below.
Poach the eggs and warm the bacon
Place the muffin pan and foil packet on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake the food 12 minutes, until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny. June will notify you when the food is ready. If desired, follow instructions on your June Oven to continue cooking.
Start the hollandaise
While the eggs and bacon cook, combine the egg yolk, water, lemon juice and salt in the base of the immersion blender or other tall cup just wide enough for the immersion blender head to fit inside.
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
immersion blender
Melt the butter
In a small pot over medium-high heat, melt the cubed butter. Cook, swirling the pot frequently, until the butter is foaming. Continue cooking until the butter stops foaming, then pour the melted hot butter into a liquid measuring cup or cup with a spout, leaving any solids behind in the pot.
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
pot
liquid measuring cup
Make the hollandaise
Blend the contents of the base or tall cup with the immersion blender. With the blender running, slowly add the melted butter in a thin drizzle. Continue to slowly add the butter, blending constantly, until the sauce is thick and creamy and you have used all the butter. If the sauce turns out thick like mayonnaise, thin it by stirring in 1 teaspoon of warm water at a time until it's pourable but still creamy. Cover the sauce and keep warm.

Start assembly
Remove the eggs and foil packet from the June Oven. Carefully open the foil packet, using caution to avoid the steam, and top each toasted English muffin half with a slice of warm Canadian bacon.
Top with eggs
Using a slotted spoon, carefully scoop the eggs out of the muffin pan cups and place one on each of the bacon-topped English muffins.
