Today: KatieQ collaborates with Bubble Child to bring you a thick and tangy (and relatively easy, minus the whisking) hollandaise sauce for a better breakfast.

It’s high time for hollandaise sauce. In another French-inspired episode, KatieQ forms a saucy collaboration with Erica, professional chef and mastermind of the YouTube channel Bubble Child. Together in Erica’s kitchen in Paris, they turn clarified butter, lemon, and egg yolks into a tangy emulsion so thick, its consistency resembles that of Greek yogurt. A dollop of this hollandaise sauce morphs poached eggs and French baguette into a breakfast blowout. It’s a heck of a lot of whisking, but they don’t seem to mind after the first bite.
Tell us: Do you have any hollandaise secrets? What do you like to eat it with?
Polenta, mac and cheese, farmers' market breakfasts, smoky food & drink. These are a few of my favorite things. I was an editorial intern @Food52 in 2015!
Back home we called this emulsion mayonnaise. Is the difference between a mayonnaise and a hollandaise the consistency, or are there other more fundamental differences? Quite tasty either way.
