Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup butter 
  • servings chives 
  • tablespoons cup heavy whipping cream 
  •  egg yolk 
  •  eggs 
  •  muffins english
  • servings pepper fresh
  • tablespoons juice of lemon fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • teaspoon vinegar 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • double boiler
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Bring a shallow pan of water and the vinegar to a boil.To poach the eggs, break each egg into a cup, and slide into the boiling water. By putting it in a cup first, it keeps the eggs neater in the boiling water.Cook for about 2-3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a towel.Toast the English muffins.For the hollandaise sauce, put the egg yolks, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth.Melt the butter in a pan on a very low flame, then add it to the food processor and blend until well mixed.
  2. Place the sauce in a double boiler and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring it constantly- so it doesnt start to clump and turn into scrambled eggs. (If you dont have a double boiler- like me- put it in a non-stick pan and make the flame super low. Pay extra attention to constantly stirring it.Stir in the cream and season with pepper.
  3. Place a poached egg on each muffin slice and top with the sauce and chopped fresh chives.
