Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise Sauce is an egg based sauce flavored with a bit of lemon or vinegar, butter and a hint of cayenne pepper.  Hollandaise sauce is typically prepared in a double boiler to ensure the sauce does not scorch or burn.

The sauce is served over vegetables, fish, or Eggs Benedict.  In France, traditionally this sauce would sit alongside the food it is being served with and never ladled over it.
