Do you know how to cook perfect asparagus? How to get that gorgeous green color to set in? How to make this scrumptious easy hollandaise sauce? The answers are quite easy really. Cook the asparagus ahead of time and for only 3-4 min. for these tiny spears. Then plunge them into an ice bath. This will lock in the color. You can then rewarm in the oven or microwave. The hollandaise sauce is rich, creamy, slightly lemony, and just perfectly matched with the gorgeous green asparagus and it is simple to make using this blender method. A recipe that you make and serve right away!

This recipe is so good with a big steak or roast beef but would be just as wonderful with chicken or fish. The only draw back with this recipe is that you can’t store it because of the fresh eggs. They say to use it within 30 min. of making to be safe. We have never had any left so it has not been an issue.
