SOUTHERN HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
This is one of my Gamommy's from the early 60's. Not too different than the other recipes, but worth putting out there as an option. Serve with cooked vegetables or fish.

Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach well under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Blanch the spinach: This step helps to remove the bitterness from the spinach and preserve its bright green color. To blanch the spinach, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted. Drain the spinach in a colander and then plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Squeeze out the excess water from the spinach: Use your hands or a kitchen towel to squeeze out as much water as possible from the spinach. This will help to prevent the custard from becoming too watery.
- Use a good quality hollandaise sauce: A homemade hollandaise sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you're short on time.
- Serve the custard immediately: Spinach custard is best served immediately after it's made. It can be reheated, but it may not be as creamy and flavorful as when it's first made.
Conclusion:
Spinach custard with hollandaise sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of the creamy custard and the tangy hollandaise sauce is simply irresistible.
