How to make White Asparagus Hollandaise
Tips from the cook
- Peel white asparagus thoroughly: its skin is much tougher than green asparagus.
- Cooking time depends on thickness; test with a fork.
- The butter must be hot, not just melted, or the hollandaise will not come together.

Meal prep and storage
Hollandaise is best fresh. If you reheat it, use low heat so the eggs do not cook.
