“Hollandaise sauce,” you say to yourself, “that's the sauce I get on my eggs Benedict Arnold.” For starters, it's eggs Benedict; no traitors amongst the breakfast food! And that rich mix of lemon, butter, and egg deserves a more starring role than just diner specials and early morning fare. Let it bathe the flaky salmon here with its delightfulness, and let yourself feel pride in whisking this sauce into shape. Save the Benedict for former popes.
