This recipe is a healthy version of hollandaise but tastes just like the real deal!
I am a Hollandaise FANATIC and I rarely go for anything but the real deal… until now. A light and healthier version does exist! Trust me. It tastes just like the real thing with only a fraction of the calories, fat and none of the guilt. Give this one a go and you won’t regret it. Hollandaise is commonly served over Eggs Benedict, asparagus and fish but can really be used with anything you please. I’ve used it as a sauce for brussels sprouts, hash browns, chicken, broccoli, and as a snack all on its own… haha JK but I honestly wouldn’t put it past me. Eggs Benedict here I come!!!
This doesn’t really remind me of Hollandaise sauce as it’s much sharper and less rich, but it is tasty and I think it would be excellent with asparagus or fish because of that astringency. I added a handful of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano which I had in the fridge because I felt it was missing some umami flavor.
I plan to have it with my breakfast for dinner tonight – some hash browns and omelet. I think some finely chopped chives would be lovely in the sauce as would tarragon.
