First Steps for Making Hollandaise Sauce for Eggs Benedict
Hello! This is Chef Sean Roe on behalf of expertvillage.com. Our next step in the hollandaise sauce is over at the blender. We take our already separated yolks, we add them to the blender.

When we’re done with this we then go on to our next step, which is melting the butter.
