Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with how to fix a broken hollandaise. It’s really easy, I had an eggs Benedict Florantine style down at the Santa Maria inn and it reminded me of this little trick. There it is, a broken hollandaise, is there anything as ugly.
The butter has separated from the egg. It is something that 99 percent of the cooks in the world will throw away and start over. And this happens to line cooks. It’s always like that last order of Eggs Benedict at the restaurant. And you go to put the sauce on, and the sauce is broken in you. You say something like [beep] [beep]. Anyway, here’s how you fix it, so easy.
Take a warm stainless steel bowl, run it under hot water and dry it out. And then dab in a half a tablespoon of boiling water. Now usually, I’m doing this for larger batches, I’m just going to fix a really small one here. I have a left over. So I’m only going to use about half a tablespoon of boiling water. So you dab the water in and then you slowly drizzle in the broken sauce. start slowly at first, a few little chunks, A few little drips. When it starts to get a little bit creamy, you can see it coming together. You can dump more in, and then it really starts coming together. And it magically turns back into a hollandaise. It’s unbelievable. And then you can just dump everything in. Whisk it up and then to adjust your consistency, you can add a couple more drips of that hot water. Alright. You know, I don’t like a really gloppy, super thick hollandaise. It should flow over the eggs. Slip a couple of drips of water in, you may not need that. But anyway, really quick simple demo, how to fix a broken hollandaise. And check it out, unbelievable. In fact, that’s so awesome. I think I will break hollandaise in the future on purpose just so I could fix it, just so it looks that good. Hope you enjoy that really quick easy little simple trick. And like they say, if it’s broken, fix it. Visit the site, foodwishes.com for more info and as always, enjoy.
