Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the water is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, for perfect poached eggs.

  2. Use fresh eggs for the best poaching results.

  3. If the hollandaise sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to thin it out.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different type of bread?

    Yes, you can use any bread of your choice, such as English muffins or sourdough.

  2. How do I know when the poached eggs are done?

    The whites should be set, and the yolks should remain runny. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Can I make the hollandaise sauce ahead of time?

    Hollandaise sauce is best served fresh, but you can keep it warm for a short period over a double boiler.

  4. What can I use instead of bacon?

    You can substitute bacon with ham or smoked salmon for a different flavor.

  5. Is there a vegetarian option?

    Yes, simply omit the bacon or replace it with a vegetarian alternative.
