There are several ways to prepare hollandaise sauce. You can slightly heat the yolks in a water bath, and without removing them from the flame, add cold butter, cut into small cubes. This sauce very often curdles, especially for beginners, because it’s quite easy to overheat the yolks. And even if you strain it or mix it with a blender, the taste of cooked eggs remains.

This is my favorite recipe. The sauce is thick and velvety. It stays on the surface of the eggs and doesn’t immediately drain off.

As for the tartness of the sauce, I prefer to add rice, balsamic, red, or white wine vinegar, instead of lemon juice. Also, try adding a little coriander, fresh mint leaves, a pinch of paprika, or chili to the sauce.

So, how do you make hollandaise sauce?
