Fixing That Tricky, Broken Hollandaise - Foodie Flicks
A classic eggs Benedict looks like a luscious exercise in simplicity -- a nicely toasted English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg and sinfully creamy hollandaise sauce. But looks can be deceiving -- that sauce is a thorn in the side of many cooks, a precarious and gentle concoction that needs coddling to turn out right.
Luckily, as the above video from foodwishes explains, a broken hollandaise is not necessarily the end of the world. Restaurant chefs might throw the separated melted butter and egg yolk away, but home cooks can save it with two things we all have on-hand -- a warm bowl and a little boiling water. Slowly, while whisking up a storm, the failed sauce is added to the bowl and water, where it becomes creamy and pristine once again.
Apparently hollandaise isn't so insurmountable after all!
