Are you looking for a perfect Hollandaise Sauce recipe?

This amazing Hollandaise sauce is one of the five most important sauces in French cuisine and consists of egg yolks, butter, white wine or lemon juice, and water whisked to creamy perfection over low heat.

This sauce is the typical sauce in many restaurants for breakfast. Suppose you have never tried hollandaise sauce with poached eggs you definitely should. It is so good! 😉

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 hollandaise sauce on top. Yum!

Lunch Alternatives With Hollandaise Sauce

If we start talking about 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.

Can I Make This Dish Part Of A Menu?

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 the hollandaise sauce?

No, the recipe is pretty easy. Gather all your ingredients on a table and start cooking.

Too thick hollandaise?

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.
