Benedict sauce, commonly known as hollandaise, is a creamy and buttery classic in French cuisine. Made from egg yolks, melted butter, and lemon juice, it is gently whisked over low heat until velvety smooth, often seasoned with salt and a dash of cayenne for subtle spice. Originating from France, it’s a staple accompaniment for dishes like Eggs Benedict and steamed vegetables. While rich in flavor, Benedict sauce is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats due to its primary ingredient, butter. On the plus side, it provides essential vitamins like vitamin A and vitamin D from egg yolks and butter. However, portion control is key to enjoying its decadent taste without compromising heart health, as overconsumption of saturated fats may increase cholesterol. Ideal for occasional indulgence, Benedict sauce adds sophistication to meals while underscoring the importance of balance in a healthy diet.
