Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 slice sourdough bread, crust removed, bread torn into pieces (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs broccoli, peeled and cut lengthwise into long thick florets
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon boiling water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (not the bottled stuff)
Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon chopped mint
1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Skim off the foam from the surface of the butter.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • In a food processor, pulse the bread to coarse crumbs.
  • Transfer the crumbs to a small cookie sheet, toss with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for about 2 minutes, until golden brown.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the broccoli in an even layer and roast for about 15 minutes, until just tender and starting to brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer.
  • In a stainless steel bowl, mix the egg yolks with the boiling water.
  • Set the bowl over the saucepan and whisk the yolks constantly until thickened slightly and bright yellow, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Gently reheat the butter; very gradually, whisk it into the yolks until a slightly thick sauce forms.
  • Whisk in the lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco and season the hollandaise sauce lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk in the mint and thyme.
  • Transfer the broccoli to a platter; pour the hollandaise sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and serve.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes.

I would have liked the sauce to be a bit more lemony. I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end and it really brightened up the flavor.

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The broccoli was a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble getting the sauce to thicken. I ended up adding more butter than the recipe called for.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the bread crumbs were a bit too crunchy.

I'm not usually a fan of hollandaise sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. It was light and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the broccoli.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sauce is so good that they'll forget they're eating broccoli.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this dish changed my mind! The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own. The toasted bread crumbs added a nice touch.
