Delicious! I had never made hollandaise from scratch, always used a premade mix. This was just as easy and way more lemony!

Very quick and easy! I didn't use double boiler and it turned out fine with continuos whisking. I liked the lemony taste and added parsley on top when I served it on eggs and hashbrowns!

Good results, even though I used a saucepan directly on a stove on low heat. Just kept whisking and stirring. However, lessen the lemon juice by half a tablespoon if you don't like your sauce so tangy.

Velvety smooth and tasty. I found it to be a little too lemony for my taste. I will definately use this recipe again but cut back slightly on the lemon.

A wonderfull, easy to follow recipe. I did not have white pepper on hand, so I used black pepper and omitted the Worstershire. (I can't say it, let alone spell it!) Served it on baked salmon and asparagus with wild rice on the side. Creamy, not too tart, and didn't even think about breaking! A great sauce recipe I will be using from now on. Thanks!

Followed recipe exactly. Tasted like lemon egg yolks. My husband said it left a bad taste in his mouth.

Quick and easy but next time I'll cut out a tablespoon of lemon juice as it was too tangy for my taste.

This recipe has become one of my *old faithfuls*. I cut the lemon down to 3T as well, and I temper my eggs. The recipe halves well, except I reduce the lemon even more, to 1T. As far as consistency, I've never had a problem.

Very easy to make. Didn't have a double boiler, but a metal bowl on top worked fine. Margerine makes a perfect substitute for butter. I would also add less lemon and perhaps more white pepper.

This was a good simple recipe. I substitued some cayenne pepper for the white pepper. Next time I am going to add a little lemon zest.

This was WAY too buttery. To cut it, I used 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce which only helped a little. I will probably look for another recipe.

I cut down the lemon to 3 tbsp as suggested and it was still too much lemon. No other flavor other than lemon and butter. Too salty too.

Many, many years ago I stayed at the Mccormic Inn in Chicago and room service delivered to me the best Eggs Benedict I have ever eaten. This is not it, but with a tweak & a tweak I'm sure it can be adjusted to duplicate my experience of long ago. Way too much lemon to start, but easy to make. I will tweak and try again.

I'll tone down the leamon next time, but other than that, this is an easy delicious recipe. NOTE: Add all the ingrediants to the pot prior to adding the egg yolks and you'll find it much easier to incorporate the eggs without cooking them too quickly. Basically it allows you to whisk the eggs the entire time they're in the pot.

I give Avery 5 stars for the recipe's directions; perfect for the beginner cook. I like my sauce very tart -- cut back just a smidgeon on the lemon juice. I like to add sometimes a little Tobassco sauce when serving as an Eggs Benedict...
