My mom's boyfriend introduced me to Eggs Benedict and he made a really good Hollandaise sauce. There's not much of a difference from the recipes shared here except for adding water. His recipe doesn't call for it? He used to make it for Sunday Brunch and have extra sauce left over to use on the asparagus for dinner that night.

I've hardly ever ordered Eggs Benedict in restaurants because I can tell the difference between powder or pre-packaged Hollandaise Sauces versus fresh. The taste and texture is different and if I'm going to have it I need the real deal!

A long time ago there were two restaurants in Toronto known for they're fresh Eggs Benedict and my Uncle used to take us to quite often. One of the best parts was you never had to look at the menu to know what you were ordering. Eggs Benny every time!

The recipe I posted doesn't call for water, except Ice Water to put the pan in, in case the butter and yolks separate (to put the butter back in a semi-solid state).
