About Delia's Foaming Hollandaise

Asked on 1 Jul 2021 by cosmopolitana

Hello,
I've made the "Foamy Hollandaise" with egg whites, the one that we can freeze.

How do I thaw it and how do I reheat it before pouring it on the cooked asparagus.

Thank you very much!

Hello Sylvie,

Complete the recipe and leave to cool at room temperature. Freeze in a plastic container with enough headspace for the hollandaise to be stirred during reheating. Freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost put the container of frozen sauce into a bowl half-filled with boiling water from the kettle. Stir occasionally for 30 minutes or until defrosted. Then you can keep it warm in a bowl fitted over a pan of barely simmering water for 20 – 30 minutes until ready to serve.

Kind regards

Lindsey

PS. Thank you for your comments. Always lovely to feel appreciated.

Thank you so much for this detailed bit of great advice.

If you don't mind me mentioning that it would be nice to add it to the recipe, it was quite puzzling not to know what to do with the frozen Hollandaise.

My kind regards and a Happy day!
Sylvie
