Storage and Leftovers

  • Leftovers – Store Hollandaise Sauce in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating – Reheat in a double boiler over simmering water, while whisking constantly to bring it back to temperature. You can also reheat in the microwave in short 15 second increments stopping to whisk after each burst. Whichever method you choose, be careful!
  • Freezer – I don’t recommend freezing hollandaise sauce, as it doesn’t thaw well and will separate.
