Buying advice
Cook eggs in-shell at 145°F for 45-60 minutes. Meanwhile blend hollandaise: egg yolks, lemon, and melted butter at 140°F in a blender. Assemble on toasted English muffins with ham or salmon — no poaching vortex, no split sauce.
FAQ
What temperature for the eggs?
145°F (63°C) for 45-60 minutes — poached-style eggs without the fuss.
Can I make hollandaise sous vide?
Yes — hold butter and yolks at 140°F in the bath, then blend; it keeps warm in the bag.
Do the eggs look poached?
Not identical — they're egg-shaped, not round. But taste and texture are spot on.
