Took me 3 tries to get my hollandaise right this morning

I was making eggs benedict for brunch service and my first two batches broke completely, wasted like a dozen eggs and a whole block of butter before I got it on the third try. I think my heat was too high on the double boiler, I usually cook it slower but I was rushing. How do you guys keep your hollandaise stable when the line gets busy?

Hot butter, not melted cold butter is key. And keep that water barely simmering, just little bubbles. If it starts to look thick, a splash of cold water brings it right back.

Funny how rushing always makes things take longer.
