For anyone who isn't familiar with hollandaise sauce and/or doesn't speak English too well: he's only got 2 egg YOLKS in the bowl for the hollandaise sauce, not 2 eggs, like he said. To most people it's obvious, but if there's someone who isn't familiar with it, here's a little help :)

Tips for homecooks making hollandaise for the first time: A good ratio of butter:egg yolk is 3 oz butter: 1 yolk. However, you should scale this recipe up, since small amounts of hollandaise are very difficult to keep in good quality. You should scale the recipe for 3 eggs, so use ~9 oz of butter. Don't keep adding butter until thick like suggested, or else you get a sauce that is mostly just butter. Might sound appealing for some, but it really isn't. You'd also need more lemon juice to level out the fatty butter taste with citrus. When you crack your yolks into the bowl, whisk them first until airy. Don't stir them in circles, but rather scrape against the sides of the bowl, back and forth. Doing this traps air within the eggs and gives the eggs body. When double boiling, the water underneath should not be at a boil. The eggs would cook too quickly on your, and the sauce would separate between the butter and the eggs. While the eggs and butter are heating together, continue to mix by scraping the sides. If you're using cubes of whole butter, it's ok to stir, but make sure to occasionally scrape the sides to incorporate more air. After the specified amount of butter has already been added, continue to whisk until the sauce becomes so thick that if you run the whisk along the middle, the sauce doesn't settle to the bottom. This is the proper consistency of hollandaise. Until you achieve this, continue to mix and scrape over moderate heat. You must constantly whisk the eggs while this is happening, or else the bottom could overcook and form scrambled eggs. Doing this takes a full few minutes,so don't expect it to happen soon, since you'll be focused on this one task. If you see lumps in your sauce or even little granules, that means the eggs have overcooked and could begin to separate your sauce. In order to somewhat fix this, add a few DROPS of cold water to your sauce and whisk. You literally should just count the drops, since even 1/4t will be too much and thin the sauce. For the actual poaching, you should follow the instructions for adding a touch of vinegar to the water. The vinegar helps coagulate the egg white faster, so you end up with a denser poached egg. Cracking the egg into a cup, then into the pot is also a useful trick for minimizing egg white spread. Proper poaching liquid is 160-185F. This temperature range is just below a simmer. Warm the water until you begin to see bubbles. Reduce the heat slightly until the water subsides, and drop the eggs in. If there is too much activity in the water, the egg whites might drift apart due to the bubbles.
