Hollandaise, a rich and creamy sauce made from egg yolks, melted butter and lemon juice, is typically served over eggs, but it can also be poured over veggies or fish to add loads of indulgent flavor and vibrant color to dishes. My remake involves a few smart swaps, including one that allows me to keep the signature yellow hue. Ready to give it a try?
