Hollandaise – Two Ways

No matter how you make Hollandaise, make it slowly! Classic French Sauce with a hint of lemon.

Hollandaise Two Ways

When made from scratch and made perfectly it is a work of art drizzled over Eggs Benny or vegetables. If you are worried about the egg yolks and small children, we make McCormick International Gluten Free Packaged Hollandaise. The difference between them is mastering the art and the Carbs!

    Recipe Notes

    McCormick International Gluten Free Hollandaise

    1 – 56 gr package Hollandaise Sauce Mix (5 CHO/9.3 gr)        30.1 CHO

    ½ cup (114 gr) butter                                                                  0 CHO

    1 cup water                                                                                 0 CHO

    TOTAL CHO                                                                              30.1 CHO

    TOTAL WEIGHT                                                                       372 GRAMS

    30.1 CHO DIVIDED BY 372 GRAMS =                            .08 CHO/GRAM

    1 TBSP = 15 GRAMS (.08 CHO x 15 GRAMS)               1.2 CHO/TBSP

    ¼ CUP = 4 TBSP (1.2 CHO x 4)                                      4.8 CHO/1/4 CUP

    ¼ CUP = 60 GRAMS 

    In a small saucepan slowly bring butter to a bare minimum boil.  Remove from heat.

    Add package mix, water and whisk.

    Return to heat and on medium heat and slowly bring to a boil, while gently whisking.          

    Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

    *If this Hollandaise Sauce separates, you’ve cooked it on too high of heat.

    We’ve had great results warming leftovers up gently the next day.  Add a bit of water to thin it out if desired.
