Recipe Tips & Notes
Did you know, it is an “emulsion” which means two or more ordinarily opposite ingredients are broken down and blended together. This savoury sauce can separate if temperatures are too hot or you’re adding the melted butter too quickly.
Egg yolks are the main ingredient needed to make any hollandaise sauce recipe. Using pasture-raised or organic eggs is the best choice, but you can use whatever you have at home.

Excellent recipe. I was checking everywhere for an easy hollandaise sauce that was GF and I’m impressed! Thank you and best of luck.
Really forgiving hollandaise and delicious. I’ve made h-sauce before but it always separates on me. Maybe just lucky today but I’m keeping this recipe. BTW, served over roasted vegetables for dinner – crowd pleaser!
Love this recipe…but if you want to experiment, try fresh lime. Makes it a bit sharper and tarter but still delicious!
I was craving eggs benedict but was saddened when I realized I didn’t have any hollandaise! I’d never made my own sauce before so I was a little nervous but I did a quick google search and this was the first recipe to pop up. Well, let me just say it was perfect! Super easy as well! I adjusted the recipe for the sauce since I was only making it for myself. I used two egg yolks and honestly eyeballed the rest. I would say I did a tablespoon of both lemon juice and butter and a few dashes of salt and paprika instead of cayenne (I didn’t have any on hand). Used the same cooking instructions and turned out great!
Happy New Years! Made this today, I used smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers instead Canadian bacon, tasted amazing! Thank you
Used this for the sauce and poached eggs. We had 4 left over salmon cakes from the night before, so we used that in placed of the meat and english muffin and it came out delicious. Sauce was relatively easy to make came out smooth and creamy and just the right consistency, but did take A LOT of whisking. Will definitely make again.
Just pull it right before it feels thick, but this was the perfect amount of eggs to butter.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never tried to make Hollandaise from scratch, but this makes it so easy!
This worked out perfect, saved for using again and again!
This was my first try making hollandaise sauce. I forgot to buy lemons but bottled juice worked out ok. It was much easier than I thought and turned out amazing. I’m still awful at poaching eggs as they aren’t pretty but they tasted good. Thanks Christine! Stay well!
Will never use packaged hollandaise again. Who knew it was that easy and WAY better tasting!
Turns out perfect every time!!
Second time I have made this recipe. It’s was a perfect Sunday morning football breakfast with Mimosas!
It’s how we roll during #covid!
This was such a win! So nice being able to enjoy eggs benedict again <3
1st time making this food at all and it turned out great! I used a pot atop of a boiling pot of water and it worked surprisingly well, just had to lift it off a couple of times to prevent egg scrambling.
We made the whole eggs Benedict part of this recipe this morning and it was so good! It made it seem like we were having breakfast in a nice restaurant while we’re sheltering in place. We did add way more cayenne than the recipe recommends but that’s just a taste thing. Also be patient with the whisking. It takes a while and you have to whisk VIGOROUSLY
I used this recipe in my second attempt to make Hollandaise sauce from scratch. It was ai good and so easy to make. I used a glass bowl(a Pampered Chef one), instead of a stainless steel one. It still came out amazing. Will definitely be using this one again.
Amazing… Not sure why it took me so long to make eggs benedict at home. Hollandaise sauce required a little thinning… but used the water and it was near perfect. Maybe.. perfect. Restaurant quality meal all around.
This is such a super easy to make Gluten Free Hollandaise Sauce!!!
Something so simple, yet so easy to screw up! It took quite a few tries before I finally got the perfect consistency for our hollandaise sauce, but it worked.
Fantastic.
Just a fantastic recipe.
As if I never thought to enjoy this. So easy and naturally gluten free.
Yummy
Gave this recipe a try for Christmas, my daughter has celiac disease. It worked perfect for eggs benedict!! Smooth, creamy, yum. I know, naturally gluten free, but when you’ve only made from packets, it was a surprise!
Thank you, printing for future use 🙂
It was easier than I thought it would be!
I have lost count the number of times I’ve made this recipe now. It’s delicious! Of course it is easy to make gluten free when you stick to easy ingredients. Why didn’t I think of this sooner. Thank you!
Excellent and relatively easy recipe. The hardest part for me was not having a double boiler, but I used a stainless steel bowl on top of a saucepan with water in it and it worked well. I added bacon bits on the English muffins, under the eggs and it was delicious. My family loved it.
Thank you so much for this! Had a hankerin for a GF eggs benedict this morning and you made it possible for me!
So good. Easy and delicious. Thanks!
Finally a Holandaise sauce that is easy to make and turns out perfect and delicious. Thank you!
My secret is that I use a hand mixer rather than whisking it by hand! It works wonders and saves a whole lot of energy! I’ve always wondered why its not recommended to begin with – but this recipe is definitely the way to go!
This worked out great during the Christmas holidays! Will become apart of our annual Christmas breakfast.
Delicious!
This was the best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever had. Instead of putting it on the low burner, I use a double broiler you don’t have any chance of it burning or sticking that way!
This was my first time making any kind of true sauce. Directions were easy to follow and it was very tasty. It took longer than I thought it would but, that was due to reading directions. I definitely will make this again!
Was delicious.
This was my first attempt at hollandaise and it came out perfectly. I would reduce the lemon juice for personal taste, but it came out great otherwise. Excellent and easy recipe!
I have NEVER had success making hollandaise sauce. I have tried every method from blender to double broiler. This recipe is just WOW! Incredibly easy and came out PERFECT. This recipe saved my sanity.
I’m not usually one to comment on recipes, but this was perfect! I’ve only ever tried to make this sauce once before, using the drizzle hot butter method, and, it inevitably split. I really fancied eggs royale for my birthday brekki today, so found this, and have it a go. On licking the spoon at the adjust seasoning to taste, I was blown away! It’s delicious! It didn’t split, and kept warm enough while I poached the eggs. The only adjustment I made was using hot paprika and black pepper. Definitely a recipe I’ll do again. Thank you!
So simple and delicious. This will be the recipe I will use going forward.
This is my favourite hollandaise recipe! Perfect every time and always delicious. I had some sauce leftover and used on an open face roast pork sandwich, it was delicious
Finally a Holandaise sauce that is easy to make and turns out perfect and delicious. Thank you GFJ!
The kids got together and decided to do a big brunch for Mother’s Day years ago for our mom, and I was responsible for the hollandaise. I found this recipe and couldn’t believe how good it came out. I actually was never a big fan of hollandaise before this because it was always kinda bland and I never understood the appeal. This one comes out with so much flavor, I get it now. This is what hollandaise SHOULD taste like.
My go to recipe for hollandaise! Easy and always delicious!
The BEST hollandaise sauce I have EVER TASTED!!!!
Delicious every time!
Love this sauce!
So easy and so delicious. Perfect amount of lemon juice. We could taste every flavor. I will definitely make again.
I made this and it was fabulous. You do need to be coordinated so it doesn’t get cold. I WILL be making this again.
My wife loves eggs Benedict, so while we were RV’ing in Indiana it seemed a good time to try your recipe. She said it was the best she ever had, so I thank you for getting me a gold star! Such an easy recipe to follow and your guidance hints were awesome.
This is the second time we’ve used the recipe. I had to scour the internet to find it again because I forgot to save it after the first time we made them. This is a very easy to follow recipe and each time the results have been great! I had never eaten eggs Benedict before this. It’s a new family favorite for special occasions!
Wish I could post with photo because it’s absolutely delicious and restaurant quality.
A keeper!
I have made this sauce multiple times now. The family loves it and it’s probably the most simple hollandaise recipe that I found so far. I have stuck to the directions without modifications.
Wonderful, I made Hollandaise Sauce with my mother as a teenager but I was always afraid to try to make it alone as an adult and now I can.
Delicious and easy!
Always delicious. Always simple! Thanks 🙂
Easy & tasty hollandaise
Continues to be my go to recipe!
One of the better ones I’ve tried!
Wow amazing!
