vegan hollandaise sauce

vegan hollandaise sauce

When enjoying brunch at a restaurant, I can’t resist ordering Eggs Florentine with Hollandaise sauce. But the über buttery sauce is unfortunately not-so-good for the heart. Luckily, I have a sneaky secret when at home: I whip up this simple vegan Hollandaise sauce. OK, so technically this isn’t Hollandaise sauce, in the classic sense. It doesn’t have egg yolks or butter—two key ingredients of this “mother” sauce. But my recipe is a really tasty and truly “real” option to the overly-indulgent original version.

And don’t just take my word for it. Try it! This vegan Hollandise sauce is delightful drizzled over poached eggs, such as in Eggs Florentine, or over poached salmon. Or keep the dish plant-based and serve with grilled or roasted asparagus spears, artichokes, or potatoes.

Why it’s better for you? It’s 100% plant-based.

Tasteover Tips

  • When creaminess is required, silken tofu can do the trick. Just remember to go organic to assure it’s free of GMOs.
  • For fresh zing, sprinkle in lemon zest.
  • For depth of flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Since anchovies are in the regular version, choose a vegan sauce to keep the recipe vegan.
  • Take advantage of your spice rack! Turmeric creates a lovely light golden-yellow hue; cayenne adds a kick.
