Broad Beans with Raw Ham, Soft Boiled Eggs and Sauce Bearnaise / Tuinbonen met rauwe ham, zacht eitje en bearnaisesaus

The Bearnaise sauce was too buttery and had too little flavour; other than that, the combination of the ingredients was good as such, but didn't quite come together as a dish - it just seemed like a coincidental arrangement of different components.

Another issue in this dish is that timing is really difficult. It's hard to foresee how long exactly the bearnaise will take even while you're making it (and it was definitely longer than expected), so all you can do is gamble when you need to start cooking the eggs and the broad beans to be able to serve everything at the same time.

I used it as a chance to 'practice' boiling an egg again, see my 'eggs-periment', take 2 at Heston Blumenthal's Soft Boiled Eggs.
