Step 1To poach the eggs (use duck or jumbo chicken eggs), place a pan on water with a pinch of salt on the hob and bring to the boil. Crack the eggs separately into a cup. Swirl the water in a circular direction and gently pour in the eggs one at a time. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes on a medium heat for a medium poach (firm white, runny yolk), or to your liking. Remove from the water and drain on kitchen roll. Keep warm.
Step 2Steam broccoli (or broccolini) for 3 to 5 minutes, until crisp-tender (1 to 2 minutes for if you use asparagus). Drain and keep warm.
Step 3To make the hollandaise sauce, place the butter in a saucepan and cook over a medium heat until the milk solids are lightly browned. Take off the heat. Be careful not to burn the butter!
Step 4Place the egg yolks in a blender with the lemon juice, water, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend for 30 seconds until yolks are broken down. With the blender running stream in the bubbling butter in a slow steady stream. The sauce will thicken. If it's too thick, add a dash of water and blend again. (Use the leftover egg whites to make Keto Buns or 90-Second Keto White Bread.)
