Hollandaise from scratch requires making a custard-like sauce, usually in the top of a double-boiler. This version gives you the same great lemony flavor without all the work.

  1. DLNORTH REVIEW:

    Not a bad sauce but didn't taste enough like hollandaise really. I will probably use it again because it had a nice texture and was simple in the micro, but wouldn't use it in place of hollandaise maybe.

  2. Moose REVIEW:

    Not a bad substitute if you are counting calories. Used fat free sour cream. Wasn't exactly like hollandaise but served its purpose and went well with the faux eggs benedict I made
