- Beef broth — Use homemade beef broth for the best taste.
- English muffins — Toast the muffins until they are crispy to prevent them from getting soggy.

- Use a slotted spoon to remove excess water from the poached eggs before placing them on the English muffins.
- If the hollandaise sauce is too thick, add a little more beef broth or heavy cream to thin it out.
- For a spicier version, use hot paprika instead of sweet paprika.
