Instructions
To Make The Hollandaise
Melt the butter in a pan or microwave and set aside until needed.
Put 2 inches of water in a saucepan and heat very gently so it is barely simmering.
Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
In a heatproof bowl, add the white wine vinegar to the egg yolks and whisk until light and frothy.
Place the bowl on top of the saucepan, make sure that the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Whisk the mixture constantly as it is sitting over the simmering water until it thickens slightly. (Don't overheat or you'll end up with scrambled eggs!)
Take the mixture off the heat completely and start to whisk in the melted butter a little at a time.
Add the lemon juice bit by bit, tasting as you go, until you get the flavour you like.
Season if needed with salt and pepper and set aside while you create the rest of the dish.
To make the Eggs Benedict
Toast the slices of Grain-Free Bread and top with some butter.
Poach the eggs.
Add the ham then a poached egg to each slice of toast and top with a large spoonful of the hollandaise.
Season with black pepper and add some herbs to serve.
