Hollandaise Sauce

I had always wanted to try eggs benedict but I didn't have the chance. I bought some lemon yesterday and decided that today is the day I'm gonna have eggs with lemon juice?

I mean, who the hell mixes their eggs together with lemon juice?

I toasted a slice of bread and poached an egg to go with it. My egg still seemed like a phail.

The sauce had a strong lemon flavour to it. It's super nice though I still find something missing. My search goes on.
