Sous Vide Hollandaise Sauce

If you’ve ever tried to make hollandaise sauce the old fashioned way, you know it can be a little tricky to get a perfect consistency. With the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker, however, it’s really easy. This is great over steamed or oven-roasted asparagus, or on eggs benedict.
