Failure of the Hollandaise sauce

I always lately having been craving to make the Godly Hollandaise sauce. The mixture of egg yolks and butter is pure heaven. Today in my Hospitality management though, the mixture wasn't so heavenly. Me and my partner screwed it up. The first try was a broken eggy buttery mess. Second try we actually burnt the mix, who knew that was possible. The third try was a thick beautiful until it slowly broke like the first one.I was defeated. At least my poached eggs were perfect :)
