Hollandaise sauce is a classic sauce that is often served with eggs Benedict, asparagus, or fish. It is made with egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, and salt. Traditional hollandaise sauce is made in a saucepan over low heat, but it can also be made in the microwave. This method is much quicker and easier, and it produces a just as delicious sauce.

NO-FAIL MICROWAVE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
I have the worst luck with Hollandaise Sauce. Clumpy because I over cook it and the butter seperates or fear of under cooked egg yokes. I found this recipe and gave it a try. It is delicious! Tastes just like real sauce and so easy to make! Just make sure you do not cook for more than 1 minute total!

To re-warm, cover container with plastic wrap, pierce wrap with a knife to vent, and microwave on 50 percent power until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through.
