    Process

    1

    make hollandaise

    1. 1.Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not contact the water. Whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice in the bowl until pale and slightly thickened.
    2. 2.Slowly drizzle in the melted clarified butter while whisking continuously until the sauce emulsifies and thickens.
    3. 3.Whisk in the cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste.
    4. 4.Maintain warmth over simmering water, whisking occasionally. Alternatively, remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent skin formation.

    Plating

    • Serve immediately on warm plates.

    Sensory Checks

    Check

    Hollandaise should be thick and emulsified, not separated.

    Check

    Poached egg yolk should be runny when cut.

    Common Errors

    • ⚠ Hollandaise separation: Occurs if butter is added too quickly or the sauce overheats. To correct, whisk in 1 tablespoon of cold water or an additional egg yolk over low heat.
    • ⚠ Overcooked poached eggs: Monitor cooking time closely to achieve a runny yolk.

    Notes

    • Clarifying butter removes milk solids, which helps prevent hollandaise separation.
    • For a richer hollandaise, use 4 egg yolks instead of 3.
