Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large skillet, bring 2 inches of water to a boil and add the vinegar. Crack one egg into the cup. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and quickly pour the egg into the water. Quickly add the remaining eggs. Cook for 4-5 minutes. The whites should be set and the yolks should remain runny. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a paper towel to dry.
Fry the bacon in a nonstick skillet. Toast the English muffins until golden brown.

Hollandaise sauce:

Combine the yolks, hot water, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend for 1 minute. Without stopping the blender, pour in the butter through the open hole in the blender lid. Season with salt and pepper and keep the sauce warm.
Assembly:

Top each bun with bacon and a poached egg. Drizzle with warm sauce and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley.

Vegetarian option:

Replace the ham with poached spinach and grilled tomatoes.
