Anders' Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise Sauce A la Anders

One morning when the whole clan was up here at our home on Cortes Island, and the request was in for Eggs Benny, I realized we did not have any of the ready mix packages for Hollandaise Sauce.

Well, time to invent something quick and simple. This is a really easy and super tasty recipe.

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 cup or 240 ml of Hellman's Mayonnaise
• 300 ml of half and half (half milk half whipping cream)
• Juice of half a small lemon
• 3-4 green onions, chopped. You can also use chives.
• 1 tbs of butter
• ½ tsp of turmeric
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• Pinch of sugar

In a sauce pan under medium heat melt the butter and add the chopped green onions. Saute for about a minute.

Now add the remaining ingredients whisk together all the ingredients, bring to almost a boil and then reduce to low heat and simmer if needed. That's it!

Serve with Eggs Benedict, poached Salmon, or over steamed asparagus. The sauce should have a nice creamy taste with the lemon flavour coming through.

Kiss the cook,

Anders
