Instructions
Hollandaise
Combine the egg yolks and cold water in a heat-proof mixing bowl and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and foamy. Whisk in a little of the lemon juice.
Place the bowl directly on top of a saucepan of simmering water. Do not allow the water to come in contact with the bowl. Whisk the eggs for 1-2 mins until they're slightly thickened.
Slowly trickle the melted butter while whisking constantly. The slower the better. Remove the bowl from the heat if necessary.
After you've added all the butter, season to taste with salt, pepper and a touch of lemon juice if necessary.
The finished sauce will have a smooth, firm consistency. If it's too thick, adjust by whisking in a little warm water.
Poached eggs
Half fill a large saucepan with water and add 1-2 tbsp vinegar. When it starts to boil, lower temp to a simmer. Gently crack eggs into pan and gently swirl water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft to touch. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
