Spicy Hollandaise Sauce is a hotter version of an old classic. Pour this over poached eggs for a decadent brunch or over steamed fish for a delicate main dish. It only takes 10 minutes to produce but will leave a lasting impression. You can even add this to the classic Eggs Benedict.

I first started making this years ago and it is requested again and again. It takes minutes to produce but always gets positive comments.
