A memorable eggs Benedict hinges on a well-made hollandaise sauce. Because hollandaise requires very gentle cooking to keep the eggs from curdling, it's typically made in a double boiler. It's easy to make one with a sauce pan and a glass or metal bowl. Put an inch or two of water in the pan. Then, set the bowl on top, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. The steam from the heated water will warm the bowl. In the bowl, whisk the egg yolks, water and lemon juice. Add a pad of butter and start cooking the mixture, whisking constantly. Add butter once piece at a time until the sauce is thick. If the sauce does curdle, add a few drops of hot water. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over poached eggs, ham and English muffins.
