Making the Hollandaise is a tricky affair. I would recommend that your parents do this or not have it at all.
Poaching the eggs is also rather tricky but not impossible.
Make sure you have lots of boiling water and add some vinegar to help set the egg white. Fresh eggs are much better to poach than old eggs.
Let the eggs sit in the water for about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to check hardness and to finally take out of the hot water. Drain on a tea towel before placing gently on your bacon.

Oven tray
Butter knife
Measuring
cups/spoons
Ingredients
(per pair)
Eggs, 4 (2 per
person)
Vinegar, 2 tsp
Bacon, 2 rashers
English Muffins,
2 (1 each, halved)
Cream cheese, 2
tsp
Hollandaise
sauce, 2 tsp
Method
Poaching the
eggs.
1.
Fill
the small pot ¾ full of hot water and bring to the boil.
2.
Add
the vinegar to the water.
3.
Take
off the heat.
4.
Crack
the egg close to the surface of the water, in the middle of the whirlpool.
5.
Crack
another egg in the hot water.
6.
Leave
for 5-10 minutes for the eggs to poach. The eggs should have set on the outside
and the yolk will still be a bit runny.
7.
Carefully
remove the poached eggs from the hot water with a slotted spoon and dry on a
paper towel.
8.
Remove
any loose egg white from the pot and reheat the water for the next 2 eggs.
The bacon needs
to be fried in the small fry pan with a little oil.
The muffins needs
to be cut in half and toasted carefully under the grill.
Spread the cream
cheese on the toasted muffins.
Place the bacon
on top.
Carefully place
the poached egg on the bacon.
Spoon the
Hollandaise sauce on the top of the egg.
Serve and eat.
