Hollandaise Sauce by Gordon Ramsay
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. Since the sauce takes only about 10 minutes to prepare, you can easily make it for breakfast. The sauce keeps for about a day, but must be stored chilled. Keep in mind that the hollandaise sauce will thicken further upon cooling. Serve cooled or at room temperature.
