How do you make hollandaise?

In a stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together. The mixture should get thicker and increase in volume. Heat a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches of water in it over medium heat until the water is simmering. Lower the heat to medium low. Place the bowl over top of the saucepan, making sure that the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl or else the eggs will begin to scramble. Continue whisking rapidly. Little by little, whisk in the melted butter until the sauce has thickened and is light and fluffy. Remove from the heat and gently whisk in hot sauce, cayenne pepper and sea salt.

How do you make perfect poached eggs?

Bring a small pot of water to a rapid simmer. Add 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar to the water. Give the water a swirl to create a whirlpool effect. Gently slip an egg into the center of the whirlpool. After 2 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water.

Instructions

Prepare the Keto Everything Buns and Keto Hollandaise as per the directions.
Split two of the buns in half and toast them.
Crack the eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Bring a small pot of water to a rapid boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Add the vinegar to the water. Give the water a swirl to create a whirlpool effect. Gently slip an egg into the center of the whirlpool. After 2 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water. Repeat this process with all 4 eggs.
Heat the Canadian bacon in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. Top each toasted bun with 2 slices of Canadian bacon. Top each one with a poached egg.
Pour the hollandaise sauce over top and garnish with fresh chives and cracked black pepper, if using.

Notes

Net carbs per serving: 5.4g
Storage: I recommend storing all elements of the leftover keto eggs benedict separately. Wrap the buns in paper towels and store them in an airtight container.
Reheating: Because hollandaise doesn't reheat well, this is best eaten fresh. If you do end up with leftovers and need to reheat the hollandaise, reheat it very slowly at a lower temperature to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Change up the protein: This is also delicious made with sausage, bacon, ham, or even crab and shrimp.
Make it vegetarian: In place of the Canadian bacon, swap it out for sautéed spinach and tomato slices to make a keto eggs Florentine.
