INGREDIENTS
4 whole eggs (≈200g total)
2 extra egg yolks (≈34g total)
1 slice sourdough bread (≈64g)
0.5 tablespoon unsalted butter (≈7g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (≈15g)
2 tablespoons fresh mixed herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing a pot of simmering water. Add a dash of salt to the water to help the eggs hold their shape.
Gently crack the 4 whole eggs into separate small bowls. Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over very low heat. In a heatproof bowl, combine the 2 extra egg yolks with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water to create a gentle double boiler.
Slowly whisk the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture, continuously whisking until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Stir in the chopped fresh mixed herbs and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the sourdough bread until it is golden and crunchy.
To plate, lay the toasted sourdough on a plate, gently place the poached eggs on top, and generously drizzle the warm hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Serve immediately.
