The best one is Eggs Royale. The same as Eggs benedict but smoked salmon instead of ham. My favourite Brunch when we go out :)

But if you want a real cheat, add fresh lemon juice to good quality mayo, a bit of zest too. Basically Hollandaise is a warm lemon mayo.

If doing the blender version, add barely a pinch of cayenne or hot paprika to the blender. It does not make the sauce spicy, but does enhance the flavour.

Me too! I have that old cookbook and the blender stuff tastes fine enough for us.

I like my poached eggs to have a runny yolk, like a soft boiled egg.

I have an ancient one of those. I'd love to find another but so far no luck. They work great!

Mine is so old I don't remember when it was bought. I still use it occasionally. Would not part with it for all of the money in the world.

I LOVE eggs benedict. I don't eat it very often...it's special treat. I love it with avocado instead of ham. I use that same McCall's recipe for blender hollandaise and it always works for me. I'm not sure why some people have trouble with it. Maybe it's got something to do with temperature.

Love your tips. I put a dash of cayenne in mine too. I also use tofu mayo with lemon at home for a "mock hollandaise" and it's not bad. It cuts down on the fat and cholesterol. When I go out, I don't worry about it and order the real deal...yummmm!

Most of the time a hollandaise doesn't "work out" because it splits or separates.
If this happens, try whisking in boiling water a drop at a time until it come back together.

success! made it this weekend and it turned out really good. I am doing the method of mixing egg yolk up, and then drizzling in hot butter (200 deg) and whipping with emersion blender
