hollandaisestyle

Hollandaisestyle refers to a culinary term, specifically a sauce. It is a variation of hollandaise sauce. While classic hollandaise is made from egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice, hollandaisestyle sauces often incorporate additional ingredients to alter the flavor or texture. These variations can include adding herbs, spices, or even different types of fats or liquids. For example, a béarnaise sauce, which is a well-known hollandaisestyle sauce, includes tarragon and shallots. Other variations might feature ingredients like chives, cayenne pepper, or even a touch of cream. The core technique of emulsifying egg yolks with melted butter remains central to most hollandaisestyle preparations. These sauces are typically served warm and are commonly paired with dishes like eggs benedict, asparagus, or fish. The term is less about a strict definition and more about a category of sauces that build upon the foundational hollandaise.
