Quick Hollandaise Sauce
Overview
I love brunch and I love Eggs Benedict.
I love Irish Eggs Benedict (with corned beef hash) and Salmon Benedict. Not to mention Spinach and Tomato Benedict.
I wanted a quick and easy way to make the hollandaise sauce if I craved it, and this does the trick. It is thicker than your traditional!
