How to Make Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise sauce does not have a season – enjoy it all year round! This sauce is a typical sauce in many restaurants for breakfast. It is too good!

The ingredients are very standard (eggs, butter, water, white wine, salt and pepper), so you can buy those at your favorite store. Although it would be a good idea to get eggs from your local farmer’s market – to support your local community and to enjoy fresh quality products at the same time.

Breakfast options with Hollandaise sauce

Let’s start with poached eggs. They are so soft and delicate, they are a perfect match with a crusty piece of bread or toast.

You may toast your bread, make a poached egg, and top it with Hollandaise sauce.

If you want to make a special brunch for your loved one you may add a few pieces of smoked salmon or cured salmon.

I prefer cured salmon and make it at home often! 🙂

Secondly, if you are not a big fan of poached eggs, you can prepare Shrimp Omelette and add a few spoons of sauce on top of it. It will taste amazing!

Also, a sunny-looking egg with toasty bread is also a great option. You can add sliced fresh avocado and pour the Hollandaise sauce on top. Yum!

Lunch Alternatives With Hollandaise Sauce

If we talk about the Hollandaise sauce for lunch meals, we will find dozens of the most delicious and good-looking pairing recipes. But, I will pick a few.

If you love asparagus or green beans, you can blanch, pan-fry, or oven-bake them and then serve them with a fresh bowl of sauce. You can serve on top of the Bacon Wrapped Asparagus.

Certainly! You can serve this delicious sauce with Oven Baked Fries as an appetizer.

Make juicy Mediterranean Shrimp Lettuce Wraps as your main course.

For dessert, go with my Apple Cinanamon Cake, Kiwi Pavlova, or Raspberry Pavlova.

• Is it hard to make this Hollandaise sauce? No, the recipe is pretty easy. Gather all your ingredients on a table and start cooking.
• If you have noticed that the Hollandaise sauce is too thick you may add one or two tbsp of warm water and whisk it again.

If you are having it for breakfast, serve it with a cup of coffee, orange juice or your favorite black tea. If you are enjoying it for lunch or even dinner (becayse why not?), you can serve it with a glass of fresh Encruzado, Vinho Verde or your favorite white wine.

This section is here because I have one in each recipe. But trust me, you won’t have any leftovers for this recipe. In fact, you only need to make as many eggs as you will eat in one go, because they’ve got to be fresh, running and warm.

You can always make them on the spot whenever the craving hits.
