Blend for about 1 minute until the mixture is light and frothy. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alternatively, use a double boiler: whisk the yolks, lemon juice, and water in a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water until the mixture thickens and leaves a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Emulsify with Butter<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With the blender running, slowly drizzle the hot melted butter through the opening in the lid in a thin, steady stream.

Using a spoon, stir the simmering water in a circular motion to create a gentle vortex. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully slide the egg into the center of the vortex. The swirling water will help wrap the egg white around the yolk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat with remaining eggs, cooking 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Cook and Remove<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let the eggs poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or 5 minutes for firmer yolks. The whites should be set and opaque. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess water.
