Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise sauce is best made fresh and used immediately. Serve this classic sauce with poached eggs, fresh asparagus, boiled potatoes or with anything else that could use a touch of richness.

Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Tip: In recipes where the egg remains uncooked or lightly cooked, it is recommended that pasteurized egg products be used. Pasteurized egg products, such as liquid whole egg and liquid egg white, are available in the refrigerator or freezer section of most grocery stores. We used Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Break-Free Liquid Egg Product for the pasteurized liquid egg product in this recipe.
