I have forever had a fear of
Hollandaise! Char makes it all the time..and I have even been given the
privilege of stirring it on occasion. The pressure of..don't let it curdle! Watch it carefully! Only one tablespoon of butter at at time...so much pressure. I have never attempted to make it myself until I found that Harold McGee, author of a
fascinating book called the
Curious Cook, had debunked my myths surrounding
Hollandaise sauce.
Put everything in-cold. And heat it. It was perfect and took no time at all. So, take your favorite recipe and have a go. It is wonderful. My only word of caution-it thickens quickly- use low heat and remove when it starts to thicken.
Especially over dilled eggs with a side of toast with fresh lemon curd.
