What is Hollandaise Sauce?

Traditional hollandaise sauce is a rich and creamy blend of egg yolk, butter and lemon juice, typically seasoned with a little black pepper or cayenne to serve. This versatile sauce is perfect drizzled over cooked meats, vegetables or poached eggs for breakfast. Our easy Keto hollandaise sauce has replaced the butter and egg yolk with smooth and creamy avocado and olive oil, complemented by the classic flavorings of lemon and cayenne.

How to Serve Hollandaise Sauce?

This Keto avocado hollandaise is perfect served as you would a traditional hollandaise sauce. This makes a great vegan dressing option served over asparagus or roasted vegetables. Alternatively, for a non-vegan dish this can be used to make eggs Benedict, served over poached eggs, crispy bacon and Keto English muffins.
