Default Is there such a thing as a passable packaged Hollandaise sauce mix?

On an upcoming outing I'll be cooking a breakfast buffet of sorts,

a menu that includes eggs benedict. I intend to make proper homemade
Hollandaise sauce, but since it can be a bit tricky and I expect to
be
cooking with little sleep after a night of excessive drinking I want
a
backup.


I tested the Knorr Hollandaise sauce mix and while it looks ok, the
flavor just didn't seem to cut it. I tried adding a little lemon
juice
which helped a bit, but I still wasn't real happy with it. Granted I
was
testing it solo and when assembled with the rest of the eggs benedict
it
probably would be better, but I'm hoping there is a better mix out
there.


Thanks,

Time permitting (it will take a few days to order and arrive) you might
try
Minors Hollandaise Sauce Concentrate. I've used it the past and have
been
very pleased with their products.

That one looks promising, at least the ingredient list seems to actually
include Hollandaise ingredients unlike some of the others.

Alrighty, I ordered the Hollandaise concentrate and a few other items.
I'd need it to arrive by EOD Thursday, we'll see if it arrives in
time...

Pete,


Hopefully it should arrive in time. You can call the Soupbase people on
Monday morning and miraculously you will get a human being instead of a
phone tree.


I order from the Houston, TX area and my orders arrive within a couple of
days from their location in Ohio.


I love their Minors beef base for a "quick and dirty" French onion soup.

I'm north of Dallas so presumably my shipping time should be decent as
well. Looks like they have some decent stuff.


Just north of the mall on Spring Valley, there is a Mexican mercado
where I got some of the most excellent platas. In the strip mall just
north of the mall by I-75.
This was about 3 years ago. A platter with meat, double beans instead
of rice, lots of chile, and I'd buy an avocado from the store to take
back to the motel to slice up and add to the mix.

WEST of the mall, not north.

Thanks,


Pete C.
