Best Answer

Your sauce became either too hot or too cold, you're not whisking enough, or your ingredients were improperly measured/added. Following a good recipe's procedures and cooking methods precisely will give you a greater chance of success in making Hollandaise. Eventually, it is going to break, the emulsion won't last forever, but in class a couple of weeks ago, mine broke because it became too cold. Quickly throwing it on the steam bath and rotating as I whisked to evenly distribute heat saved it in the end, and was quite delicious.
