This sauce is a rich, buttery and decadent sauce that perfectly complements a variety of dishes. Hollandaise Sauce elevates meat, poultry, eggs and even potatoes! Try it on Steak Oscar, chicken, seafood and even on eggs Benedict, omelettes or home-style potatoes.
The best part of this sauce is how easy it is to make in a blender. It comes together in minutes! You can add herbs, I’m partial to parsley – it has a mild flavor, it doesn’t take over the sauce and I love to see the green flecks throughout. For a delicate and subtle licorice flavor, try adding Tarragon. I made Tarragon Hollandaise Sauce and served it over Steak Oscar. If you like an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne. Simply amazing and so easy to whip up in a blender!
