Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Share with your friends!

Make your own creamy hollandaise sauce, then put it on eggs benedict, asparagus and more. This easy recipe makes it approachable and doable.

      Hollandaise sauce is one of those things that seems a bit intimidating to make.  I am not sure why.  Maybe it is just the separating of the eggs?  

Or the fact that it is French and therefore hard?!  The funny thing is, it is really quite easy to make.  

It just takes a few ingredients and a couple of minutes.  It is certainly not a low-fat food, but every once in a while you just have to treat yourself!  

The only special equipment you will need is an immersion blender.  If you don’t have one, you can do the same thing in your blender.  You just need to have the ability to be blending while drizzling in the butter.

    This is one of those quintessential fancy brunch foods that is necessary for a perfect eggs Benedict.  But it is also great over asparagus at any time of the day!  

Wait until you see the fun twist I used this batch for.  You absolutely HAVE to see tomorrow’s post if you are a Hollandaise fan, or a brunch fan or just a delicious food fan!
