Carnivore friendly Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise sauce is the best choice as a condiment because other sauces and dressings have added sugar that will blunt the benefits of your diet. It is a butter-based sauce that makes for a good carnivore-friendly substitute for mayonnaise. It is very similar to how one makes mayonnaise. Store-bought mayonnaise is not suitable for the carnivore diet because it is most likely be made with inflammatory plant oils like soybean or canola oil. As extra fat helps improve satiety on a carnivore diet, hollandaise sauce is a perfect option to top on your favorite meaty carnivore meals.

What to Serve Hollandaise Sauce With?
Hollandaise is such a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a range of breakfasts, brunch, lunches, and main courses. Flavors of this sauce meld beautifully with poached eggs, steamed vegetables, salmon, and whatever else you would like to top it with. I love adding it on leaner cuts of meat and steaks. It is perfect to drizzle on chicken as well. This finger-licking sauce is even great to be served as a dip with your favorite snacks.
Tips to ensure the perfectly creamy sauce
- Use the right size container for an immersion blender version. Avoid using a very large bowl or jar. Make sure the head of the immersion blender should barely fits inside.
- As you are blending the sauce using an immersion blender, make sure to gently lift the blender slightly so that all the liquid gets emulsified.
- Add the hot melted butter in the running blender slowly in a thin stream, not all at once. Adding the butter too quickly can cause the sauce to separate.
- A bit of extra water can help to emulsify the sauce better. Make sure to melt your butter on low heat. As high temperature will evaporate the water in the butter.
- If your sauce is too thick, you can add in a bit of water or even more lemon juice to thin the sauce.
- If your sauce is not thickening for any reason, try adding egg white and blend again.
- You can add dijon mustard or cayenne pepper for a boost of flavor but if you like fewer plants then leave it off.
Hollandaise sauce is not suitable for storing and should be served immediately after making. It is best eaten soon after made, all in one sitting. I do not suggest storing or reheating the sauce. In case you have leftovers, you can reheat it but keep in mind that there is a chance that eggs will cook up a bit so you have to do that very gently.For reheating, pour the sauce in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over the saucepan with boiling water. But make sure that you stir it frequently until it is warm, not hot.

Place the head of the immersion blender in the bottom of the glass, turn it on to mix the ingredients and blend it for about 30 seconds.
Slowly drizzle in hot melted butter into the glass in a thin stream with the blender constantly running.
It should start to thicken and emulsify with egg yolks and vinegar quickly.

Blend until it gets a thick and creamy consistency you want.
