Ingredients - Serves 4
- Cayenne pepper - Pinch
- Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup, melted
- Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
- For the hollandaise sauce: egg yolks - 3
- White vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- While the vegetables are roasting, toast the English muffins and keep warm.
- To poach the eggs, bring a pot of water to a simmer and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- For the hollandaise sauce, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Gradually whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with the cayenne pepper.
- To assemble, top each English muffin half with the roasted vegetables, a poached egg, and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce.
