This sauce is a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few extra yolks in the fridge, so this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but this sauce was so good that I ate it all up!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual hollandaise sauce.

The sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste, but overall it was still good.
