Took a long time, but it just worked. Whisked for 15 minutes, but started on water that was probably not warm enough. I halved the recipe, so used 2 egg yolks, 55g butter, and 40ml of hot water. Cooked it until the bottom of the bowl stayed visible for a moment as I moved the whisk through it. Added salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar. Will need to have supper to use it up!
Ignore the poaching technique,it might work if your eggs are very fresh, but it didn't work at all for me.

I'm now determined to make a hollandaise more quickly, but I doubt I'll be successful.
I've found the most reliable way to poach eggs to be in a shallow frying pan with simmering water. The eggs stay together like fried eggs and you can do at least 4 at a time.
You have a delicious looking supper and you could have entered it in the 'sausage off' too
