Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 4 pieces French bread (sliced and toasted)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
- 1 liter Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 1 liter of water. Add distilled white vinegar and heat over medium heat until the water is just simmering.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolks remain intact.
Using a spoon, stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool. Gently slide one egg at a time into the center of the whirlpool. Poach each egg for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until foamy but not browned. Remove from heat.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), whisk the egg yolks and fresh lemon juice until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume, about 2-3 minutes.
Very slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly to create a smooth hollandaise sauce. Be careful not to add the butter too quickly, or the sauce may break.
Stir in cayenne pepper, Creole seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat.
To assemble, place one toasted slice of French bread on each plate. Top each slice with a poached egg.
Generously spoon the warm hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
