This Dairy Free Hollandaise Sauce is seriously to die for. This paleo sauce only takes 5 minutes to make and goes great on just about anything: steak, eggs, salmon and so much more! I remember when I first started avoiding dairy my boyfriend at the time (now husband) said let’s make a paleo hollandaise version. I was doubtful that it would taste good, but boy was I wrong! This hollandaise sauce is delicious. We love to serve it on top over gluten free toast with avocado, bacon and eggs.
You can make it fun by getting into the kitchen with your significant other and making this for breakfast together on a weekend! If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my AIP Pancakes and Gluten Free French Toast Casserole as well.
