A brunch Favorite no doubt. Hollandaise is classically served over a well built eggs benedict. It also makes itself known as a great combination to beef, salmon and asparagus. This hollandaise is kicked up a bit using adobo paste and chipotles. That small spice and smoke flavor kicks this up from a normal brunch staple to an exciting sauce that pairs perfect to several different dishes. Give this one a go next time you’re in charge of the cooking!
