- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 2 egg yolks
- 110g (4oz) Kerrygold butter, now softer, cut in to roughly 1cm (½ inch) dice

Method – Hollandaise sauce:
- First make the hollandaise sauce.

- Keep cooking very gently until the sauce has thickened, enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- If there are any signs of the eggs slightly scrambling, remove from the heat immediately.
- The whole process should take 5-7 minutes from start to finish.
- Finally add the lemon juice to taste.
- Keep warm as you poach the eggs.

- place two pieces of bacon on the hot buttered toast, then place 1 egg on top.
- Spoon over the sauce and sprinkle with chives.
