Let's Cook!

Step 1

Clarify the butter: Melt 250 g butter over low-medium heat. Strain through kitchen paper to remove solids and set aside.

Step 2

Make the hollandaise: Blend 3 egg yolks, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 tbsp water on the lowest setting. Slowly drizzle in the warm clarified butter until thickened. Season with salt and a touch of cayenne. Keep warm in a thermos.

Step 3

Cook the scallops: Pat scallops dry. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear scallops for ~20 seconds per side, then remove.

Step 4

Poach the eggs: Bring a deep saucepan ¾ full of water to steaming (not boiling). Add a splash of white wine vinegar and salt. Crack eggs into separate ramekins, swirl the water gently, and lower eggs in one by one. Cook 2½–3 minutes, then set aside. Chef’s tip: For multiple eggs, poach for 2 minutes, transfer to ice water, and reheat in steaming water for 30 seconds before serving.

Step 5

Toast the muffins and slice in half.

Step 6

Assemble: Place scallops on each muffin, top with a poached egg, spoon over hollandaise, sprinkle with chives and a pinch of cayenne. Serve immediately.
