    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/06/2018   This has been my go-to, no fail Hollandaise recipe for years.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       06/18/2018   I've been using this recipe since it first came out in Everyday Food years ago. It's so versatile with the things you can add to it - garlic, herbs, spices, etc. For the people who thought it was too salty, you're probably using salted butter and then adding the salt in the recipe. If you use salted butter, then don't add the extra salt.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/18/2017   Very easy to make. Just be careful when you pour the melted butter in. Blend low when you pour then increase the speed.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/04/2017   I have never made a hollandaise before. I wanted it for just the two of us. So, I.cut the recipe in half. Turned out just delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/17/2016   This was my first attempt at making hollandaise. It was very easy to make although I would decrease the amount of salt (I found it way too salty). I also added tarragon to mine.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/17/2015   I made this for my family two weeks ago. It tasted great (though I added a dash of dijon); however, the flavor wan't worth the serious illness my family developed as a result of salmonella poisoning. After a long interrogation from the state health department, it was concluded that the hollandaise was the likely cause of our infection.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       07/05/2014   I would definitely add the dijon, it cuts the citrus a bit. Overall very easy and hard to ruin! See my review here: http://theyearofmartha.com/2014/07/05/review-marthas-easy-hollandaise/  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/28/2012   So easy and delicious - I can't imagine making hollandaise any other way! I made the Eggs Benedict recipe which included this recipe on the site, and it was all delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/23/2011   I didn't know how easy it could be to make hollandaise. It was delicious too and went perfectly with our dinner of asparagus, fish fillets and fried polenta. It even got my 5 year olds to clean their plates!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/12/2010   The butter should be warm enough to cook the eggs but if you are serving this to pregnant women or kids you may want to use the pasturized eggs or egg substitutes.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/12/2010   Since this sauce was not cooked, what is the risk of Salmonella from raw egg yolk?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/12/2010   You can also add a little Dijon mustard for little extra flavor.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/02/2009   add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a nice kick.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/18/2009   This came out really well, and was much easier than the traditional method. Very tasty.
