Ingredients

• 2 heads Broccoli crowns
• 1 cup Salted butter
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
• 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Prep the broccoli by cutting it into small florets and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the vibrant green color. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

To prepare the toasted bread crumbs, heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and stir constantly until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, season with a pinch of salt, and set aside.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, skim off any foam from the surface and keep the clarified butter warm over very low heat.

Step 5

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of water. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Keep whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the warm clarified butter, a few drops at a time to start, then in a slow, steady stream. Make sure the sauce stays thick and emulsified. Remove from heat once all the butter is incorporated.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice, fresh parsley, fresh chives, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder into the hollandaise sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

To serve, arrange the blanched broccoli on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the herbed hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs. Serve immediately.
