Instructions
Prick potatoes with a fork and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake potatoes at 425F 50-60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Hollandaise Sauce
In the bowl of a double-boiler, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until doubled in size. Place over a double-boiler of barely-simmering water over medium heat.
Continue whisking constantly, being careful not to let the eggs get too hot. Very slowly start drizzling in melted butter, whisking constantly until sauce is doubled in size and thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep sauce warm. (if sauce gets too thick, whisk in 2-3 teaspoons hot water)
Eggs and Bacon
Bring a medium pot of water to a low boil. Crack eggs into 3 separate bowls. Use a small spoon to create a whirlpool of water then very carefully drop an egg into whirlpool to poach. Cook egg 1-2 minutes to your desired doneness then carefully remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Cut baked potatoes open and gently use a fork to fluff potato and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top potatoes with a poached egg. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over each baked potato and top with bacon and green onions. Serve potatoes immediately and enjoy!
