2 whole organic Eggs, 1 Egg Yolk

juice from ½ a Lemon
50g Butter, melted
Salt & Pepper
1 English Muffin (or 2 slices of Bread, cut into rounds with a cookie cutter)
small handful of Asparagus
knob of Butter
Recipe:
To make the hollandaise, put the yolk in a bowl and whisk in a bit of salt and pepper. Add vinegar and lemon to a small saucepan and heat until it starts to bubble. Pour this into the egg mixture and whisk in. Then slowly pour the melted butter in a thin stream into the bowl as you whisk away. The sauce should be thick and creamy.
Steam the asparagus over a pan of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears.
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the vinegar. Whisk the water to create a whirlpool and once settled, crack an egg in. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, remove the poached egg carefully with a slotted spoon and repeat the process with the remaining eggs.
