Who has successfully done it?

We made some lovely Eggs Benedict for the family this morning...my beautiful hollandaise was fluffy and creamy and yummy...until the delay in poaching 12 eggs weighed heavily on the butter, lemon, egg yolk mixture and what remained was a very separated (still yummy) butter sauce. What did I do wrong? I waited too long! I should have just had everyone drink a shot of the stuff before the eggs were done...you know, like an appetizer.

Anyone have any tips? Also, please post your best benedict recipe!
