Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and thick. Season with salt and white pepper. Keep warm.

Poach the Eggs
Fill a large saucepan with water and add white vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
