Submitted by -Sheri-

"This sauce comes from a cook book, French Classics. This is perfect served over fish. DO NOT overheat the yolks or the sauce will curdle and you will have to start again. Cooking time is complete time. Serve with salmon # 170382"

Hollandaise always scares me but I followed the directions to a "T" and it came out great. Treated myself to a lovely eggs benedict breakfast. I will keep this recipe. Thanks, Sheri.

I did serve with salmon recipe #170382. IThe only addition I made was adding of the lemon zest!
