Steps
1
Make the Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce. Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into small pieces and keep cold in the fridge. In a bowl or saucepan, melt the remaining butter and keep warm. In a heat-proof bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the water, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the cold butter.
Ingredients
3/4 Cup (12 Tbsp) unsalted butter, divided
3 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. When thick, you'll start to see the bottom of the bowl between strokes with the whisk. Remove the bowl from heat and immediately whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of cold butter. Slowly pour the melted butter into the mixture and whisk until all butter is added and the sauce is smooth.
3
If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water to thin it. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and add 1 teaspoon of chipotle in adobo sauce, or more to desired heat. Submerge the bottom of the bowl in warm water to keep the sauce warm while you poach your eggs.

Make the poached eggs. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil on the stove. Add 1 tsp. of vinegar or lemon juice for roughly every cup of water. Crack the egg into a large spoon. Slide the egg into the center of the pan. For runny yolks, cook eggs for 2-3 minutes. For a more well-cooked yolk, poach for 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs from the water.
